Mr. Robot - 407 Proxy Authentication Required

Entertainment Weekly: It’s tense and unbearable, and Malek simply shines. The way he collapses in on himself, allowing his body to shrink into the couch, is just remarkable. His face works wonders, his eyes welling up and flitting about as he scans his memory for the truth, until opening that door he can never close again.

Den of Geek: It’ll probably be Rami Malek’s Emmy reel, and if he wins, he’ll deserve it for a performance that runs the gamut from rage to desperation to utter and total despair.

Hollywood Reporter: In what's easily one of Rami Malek's single most powerful performances of the series, not to mention the single most upsetting scene of the entire show.

New York Times: Rami Malek bests even his own usually exceptional work in the role. His jaw appears to come unhinged as he writhes from the shock and pain, as if his emotional distress were a physical thing tormenting his body.

Vulture: But it’s Malek who does the heaviest lifting. He moves from anger and confusion to leveled devastation at an organic pace, his face fighting to keep from accepting what already lies inside him.

AV TV Club: God, Rami Malek’s performance here. Anyone who wasn’t convinced of his Oscar worthiness by Bohemian Rhapsody should just watch this.

Tell Tale TV: I know it has been said countless times before this season, but after this heartwrenching performance, it bears repeating. Malek is a force to be reckoned with and his portrayal of Elliot in the final moments of this episode is a testament to his incredible emotional range as an actor.

The actor allows us to feel every inch of Elliot’s pain as we watched his face twist into a mask of horror and his body shrink farther and farther into the couch.

Rami Malek is one of the best actors of his generation.

[vital-information]

tonight we are happy sobbing over dr. krista gordon in mr robot, as a woman who asserts boundaries, cares deeply and wholly about her patients, and stabs a knife into the backs of cultish entrepreneurial thugs attempting to take advantage of someone’s mental anguish. Vera had no true regard for Elliot’s well-being and the processes of opening up about trauma (over long periods of time in emotionally stable environments). Vera, the savvy businessman he was, sought only to emotionally break down individuals. Then, he could sweep in to offer a manipulative form of belonging.

When Elliot talks about Krista being a good person, it’s her patience with him that he regards. The whole fourth season focuses on these kind of manipulative ticking-clock relationships, anxieties that thrive within capitalism (dom & dark army; elliot & olivia cortez; etc.). Everyone feels the anxiety of time and the sense of impending doom for their loved ones and goals. Krista brings a time knife to this fear. She has faith in the slow persistent opening of hearts.

The level of emotion Rami Malek injects into the single word “Why?” is some next level shit

There I was, mid-episode, wanting to post about how Slater's completely owning this season, with Rami only getting a few glimpses of the action. I didn't want to pause or divide my attention with anything though, so I decided to finish watching and then post, then the second half hit me like a thousand punches in the gut and goddammit, Malek
