Alicia Vikander takes on the lead as the American star who's not happy about her career in blockbusters or her recently-ended relationship. While there are some cool looks at the glamour of a star's life and the making of a film, the self-important dialogue drags it down. This look at art vs. commerce isn't interesting.… Expand

Cue: American actresses smoking and talking endlessly about their sex lives. Cue: Name dropping mother **** Leonard Cohen like any left-bank left-wing Parisian adolescent has done since 1968.
Navel-gazing, presumptuous, verbose as in non-stop talking,...as couldn't be any more cliché -and seemingly unaware of it-, about Parisians! This is another excruciating boring turd from an overrated French director. This time, it's Assayas. It would be laughable if it weren't symptomatic of a degenerate culture stuck in a Nietzschean "eternal return". See, anybody can do some **** name-dropping too!

This is the opposite of cinema. This is pseudo-Godard without the balls of going off the tangent and his knack for experimentation. It pretends to be edgy and artistic but awes second-rate American film critics, that don't have the culture to be literary or art critics....while inflicting acoustic torture on any person who has ever seen a Tarkovsky or Bresson film (this name dropping is OP as my nephew says)… Expand

Every time the 'director' is in the scene, I just know it's going to be a whiny criticism and an endless complaints-fest no matter how good the actors or script or set... He just always endlessly complains.… Expand
