Wonderful, Quirky Film

Rating: 8/10 (22 July 2015)

I saw this film flying from Italy to the US and absolutely fell in love with it. I love Mark Ruffalo and Keira Knightly in this film. The energy and MR's quirky delivery makes this just a fun and moving film to watch. I'm just a new huge fan of Mr. Ruffalo and I really think Keira Knightly delivers a moving and very subtle performance in this film. For anyone who is an artist or considers themselves an artist, staying true to why you are in this business is a really tricky thing.
This film explores this and asks the question of every artist, "why are you doing this?" Also it explores how every complicated it is to maintain healthy and strong relationships in a business devoted, it seems, to an abundance of butt kissing and star making. The fact that the main character, in the face of potential stardom, chooses to remain true to her art is a testament to the craziness of the entertainment business. Remaining true to your art can mean remaining poor! LOL! It's an odd thing.
