Hmm, what a fab. movie. Just caught this flick at a film festival and let me tell you it is one dame fine movie.
Sitting thru the opening scenes I must admit that I thought that it was going to be total @#!&*, but it soon got going. Being involved in the "entertainment" industry I did feel a connection with this film. The acting was superb, the general production values good, although the hand-held camera work did occasionally get on my nerves.
It was quite strange actually, the start of the movie (opening credit sequences) seemed to go on for ever, and the credits that would normally be put at the end were put at the start. Anyway, I think if people can get thru the first 15 minutes, they will see the film for what it is.
Great character performances, great story and subject matter. Think an "arthouse" version of "The Player.
Just ordered this on DVD from the UK. MUST SEE!
