Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for fans of a well-timed joke and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Set in sun-baked Los Angeles. A good follow-up to Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood or Boogie Nights.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 50 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: expect drug use and sex.
- Made in 1970: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Bohemian Alex Morrison has just finished directing his first feature length movie. In its previews, the movie is considered a critical, artistic and surefire commercial success. As such, Alex seemingly has his choice of what his next project will be. As he makes the rounds both in the Hollywood community and European movie centers for ideas, he fantasizes about movie scenarios of those everyday situations he is in.
