One of my chief with the film industry is fulfilled with this movie. Writers and performers are so vapid to believe that telling a story is that much better when told through their own eyes. Against my better judgement, I opted to watch this knowing they break one of my cardinal rules. Ie it's like one of those shows about a show being made. Ugh. To any script writer who may be writing this: folks in the film industry don't have some special fascinating way of seeing things. It's because your world view is so singular that your industry keeps buying these things up thinking they're brilliant. Someone fairly prominate in the industry once used a term I hate just as much to describe lazy film making: navel gazing. This movie totally lost itself by focussing too much on this.
Anyways...back to this film...it's about an actress. And the story we would be interested in is actually only secondary to Natalie Portman's narcissistic (character's) story line. It should have been the opposite.
I would have loved to whole film, with the weird music punctuation and absurdities without making it wholly about the film industry.
I didn't expect this to be such a dramatic film. Kept my attention. I wish this story had been told with more justice.
