About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an intense, dialogue-driven character study about ambition and relationships under pressure, similar in spirit to BlackBerry or The Trial of the Chicago 7; Not for you if you prefer action, a warm hero, or a straightforward cradle-to-grave biography.
Pros: gripping backstage tension; sharp dialogue; strong performances | Cons: talk-heavy structure; lead can feel unlikable; limited broader history
