Good movie but grossly overrated
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Marjorie Conrads first movie and directing hits it out of the park. Very funny, submerse cast and quirky story that makes you wanna cheer the Irene along. I hope this isnt the first and last time shes giving the chance to create a movie. Just wow, watch you wont be disappointed.
A perfect example of what a 'budget' movie can achieve with a first class director and writers.Director/writer: Marjorie Conrad has created a story of an immature young girl wanting something out of her life she slowly discovers that she is woefully unprepared to meet. Everyone, even her best friend, talks down to her which only feeds her insecurities.Conrad has created a visually abstract and lonely environment for the main character's journey into the 'modeling' world and it cold reception for the nobodies knocking at it's door.
I ended up watching this really segmented on Amazon to make the film last longer. You know, when you have something that's really great and want to ration in order to increase your net pleasure? That was what I experienced. Beautiful cinematography, wonderful acting. It felt like a documentary of my experience living in L.A. back in the day. I'm not model material, but neither is the protagonist (as the viewer comes to find out). I never knew what modeling was really like, so I think this does give an accurate portrayal of all the difficulties and lies in the industry, which I really enjoyed. I love revelation films. Bonus: you might laugh a lot. It's really great. Oddly, this film resonated with my male friends, but made my female friends uncomfortable. Why? I don't know. Anyway, I thought this was excellent and would highly recommend to anyone interested in current American independent cinema.
I don't think I can accurately portray through words what this film meant to me. It was an emotional ride. I really felt for the characters, it was mostly an intense emotional connection that was indescribable. I first heard of this when I was in Chicago on a trip and saw posters on the street. The posters looked really well drawn, and it was like a book: you see a GREAT IMAGE and you want to see more. I couldn't find anything for a long time, maybe two years. I found it on Amazon recently and really enjoyed this. I laughed, cried, and as a man this is rare.I can tell you it's a very unique film I have never seen anything like this before. So, if you are into a film that will make you think about qualities of life, and better appreciate film as an art, you will very likely enjoy this. I don't know if a physical copy is available anywhere, but if there is, I want to buy one.
