Self Indulgent Tripe

Rating: 1/10 (16 January 2015)

This would have to be the most over hyped movie i have seen in a long time. Its completely aimed at industry insiders and therefore will probably sweep the AA's. But don't be fooled. If you haven't worked in the field of the Arts, this would be like watching a plumber install a toilet in a single take, 2 hour film, while showing you all the day to day problems a plumber might face. The avant-garde free jazz sound track is like an everlasting sound check gone wrong.
Its an exercise in powdering the collective b@lls of the Academys voting panel, and will no doubt be the talk around the dinner tables of the industry elite and Film Noir intellectuals , while they consume copious amounts of fair trade espresso.
The next installment will be about the day to day battles of the AA voting panel, and the mental agony involved in voting for a winner each year.
If you really want to watch a movie that shows you the agony and ecstasy of working in the arts, submerse yourself in a mighty film called - Whiplash.
As for Micheal Keaton - watch Johnny Dangerously. You'll at least get a laugh out of that performance.
