Those EYES of Aubrey Plaza keep mesmirizing me! Aubrey's acting part is (without a doubt) the best part of this puzzling story of the making of a movie inside another movie. Simply put: Aubrey is acting that she is playing a (jealous) actress on a movie set, where her (flirting) husband is the director.
The good: this movie is confusing. But confusing can be fun. And it is. It is puzzling, weird, yet fascinating.
Any bad? This story, being smart for the sake of being smart, does distract a bit from the strength of the dramatic scenes, because I did not know what was fiction and what was real any more, therefore I could not relate / sympathize with the characters as much as I would have wanted to. The supporting actors are not very good unfortunately, which is another reason why I could not really get into this story. And because of the weird, confusing story this movie is only suited for art house movie fans of intelligent, puzzling/weird scripts.
