A narcissistic wooden has-been trying to drum up more work in circumstances that could hardly be less appropriate- surprising that Joan would dare this as it invites comparison with her real-life career (!)
The film looks as if it has been filmed on a shoestring and could have been written by just about anybody to be frank- there was precious little wit or warmth about it. If it was meant to be about either character confronting their own demons in an escapist context, it missed the mark in profundity.
Curiously a fellow viewer kept looking at their watch, and every time I saw the time on it I wondered how the film had been filling the time as little seemed to have happened.
The lack of expression in Joan was a concern, confusing me as to whether it was due to senescence, plastic surgery or unabashed laziness. A missed opportunity to be sure, but I can imagine Joan eating a takeaway for less than this cost to make. When the paparazzi aren't watching, obviously.
