Good effort! Love the characters! You've got some good subtle acting choices here!

The camera shots are good. However, with the 2nd shot, I would move the female character more screen right so that she's more towards the right third of the frame instead of dead center. Think of the "rule of thirds" for composition.

I like how you've established this confrontation with these characters. But I'm a little confused as to why his fists are hovering above her shoulders at the end?

The lip sync feels like it's in a blocky state and looks choppy. I think it's because the corners of the mouth are popping throughout. I would work on improving that.

Adding so many cut aways when switching focus on characters is exhausting, if you can find a way to make the animation in as few camera changes as possible (preferably 1 or 2) then it'll be so much easier to feel the scene rather than just watch the scene.

The subtleties of his nose and lip twitch are so dang good! Amazing work

I love how the shit moves to her right after she says "No". It catches the attention much easily.
