Annie Clark is music star St. Vincent. She asked her friend Carrie Brownstein to make a documentary about her tour. On stage, she is cool and powerful but in the real world, she's a nice boring pushover. Carrie suggests injecting some of her on-stage persona into her real life to spice up the documentary. Annie takes it too far.
This is funny little indie. Some of it is downright Spinal Tap. The sex scene is pure Spinal Tap. The story does lose the thread at the end when it tries to go surreal. It seems like the writers felt they had nowhere to go. The thing is that there is an obvious way to close it out. Annie and Carrie need to have a heart-to-heart to save their friendship. Their friendship is the overarching premise of the movie. I thought the prison is a great move but everything after that is missing the point. It's still really fun.
