It looks good for the most parts and the results are pretty good
Though now I'm mostly picking at small imperfections I can notice against other algorithms.
I used the madVR settings people seem to agree on for default, somewhere in this discussion:

Screenshots in order: v1.6 light=200 tm=0.90 | HDRTools | madVR 0.92.14 | madVR latest test build
Same sample as earlier, frame 129:

Numbered the issues I noticed to explain, circled in the first screenshot.
1- The vivid/deep red/purple isn't blending in with the lighter colored skin at the bottom of the neck so it looks weird.
The same thing happens on the forehead, and on the edge of the red hue on the right, next to the ear.
It might blend in better if the left side of the face was more red, like it is on HDRTools and madVR.
2- The bright points there are spot on, a bit softer but a lower "tm" parameter would fix that.
However the saturation (or hue ?) seems a little low. Again, that might be the same saturation issue as on the left side of the face mentioned before, since it's reflecting white light.
3- The left side of the face is less red as mentioned, but it's also a bit smoother compared to madVR.
The fine details seem smoothed out on the cheek.
That might be caused by the Reinhard contrast or gamma but I'm not sure.
Otherwise on the right side of the nose, the red spot under the eye looks as good as latest test build of madVR, so that's very nice.
That's all for now, thank you again
