About

You may like this if you enjoy theater-minded comeback stories and sharp industry satire with bold performances, but Not for you if you dislike long, talk-heavy, surreal-leaning films like Russian Doll or The Truman Show.

Pros: seamless stage-like flow; standout performances; clever satire | Cons: moralizing tone; divisive pacing; surreal moments bewilder
