About

If you enjoy bleak, provocative Hollywood takedowns with surreal touches and morally messy characters, this may land, especially if you liked Cosmopolis or The Congress; Not for you if you want likable leads or a consistently light tone.

Pros: sharp, dark Hollywood satire; standout lead performance; unsettling, memorable moments | Cons: uneven tone shifts; mean-spirited, vulgar edge; messy, unfocused storytelling
