Featured review
Overrated film about sibling / artist rivalry
This movie had lots of hype, but I did not find it tremendously thrilling. Maybe I was outside the Hollywood circuit, and the subtleties went over my head.
There is this famous director directing a billionaire's ego-legacy film, that hires a famous film star, and a famous theater actor twice his age, to play a pair of similar-age brothers. The story of the film within the movie is about sibling rivalry, but there is rivalry among the two main actors. Meanwhile, the director is showing who's the boss by bullying both of them, and it seems a miracle that neither actor felt sufficiently disrespected to walk off the job.
Oh, and "Official Competition" is a misleading title, based on one scene in the movie.
