Metza metz

Rating: 6/10 (7 January 2015)

I don't understand the hype. In short, this movie came off very much like a play about the making of a play leading up to opening night. I found it very hard to be very sympathetic about the main character who is a "washed up" Hollywood celebrity who has squandered his wealth and wants to recapture his fame. Some people might find that premise interesting but I didn't. Aren't most celebrities and stage actors just serious cutthroat attention seekers who court then shun public attention anyway and blow it in the process? Not that I have anything against celebrities, but fame is temporary and that's the nature of the business. It's invasive and prone to self-destruction.
And mind you, I don't watch a lot of junk either so I think I'm being fair.
