About
You may like this if you enjoy quiet character studies about fame and friendship, with a strong old-Hollywood feel; Not for you if you want a fast-moving story or a more dramatic take like Being the Ricardos or Bombshell.
Pros: strong period feel; convincing lead performances; memorable photos | Cons: slow pacing; thin story; limited emotional spark
