This is a big problem with all live-action adaptations of animated movies/TV shows, race swapped or not.
Animation affords chunks of frames to exaggerated facial expressions that even the best actors/actresses cannot really emulate. Doesn't help that most performers these days have perpetual dead NPC look in their eyes.
Carl Benjamin (Sargon of Akkad) made a really pertinent point in his breakdown of Prey about how the actress could play the role perfectly, but the soft, rounded features and qualities of her appearance show that she's never experienced any kind of hardship her entire life. It makes it impossible to imagine her as a pre-modern tribeswoman.
I remember one of my history teachers said Monty Pythons Holy Grail was oddly accurate as the only clean characters were nobility and the commoners were all covered in dirt and shit.
