The film

A young aspiring actress, desperate for guidance and belonging, falls under the spell of a manipulative acting coach who draws her into a web of control and obsession.

The Cast

The Real Review

This is a rough watch for most, landing as a mostly negative psychological drama that people find frustrating. The story, following aspiring actress Hannah as she's drawn into a manipulative coach's web, is widely criticized for being too familiar and thinly plotted. A vocal few also tore into the glacial pacing. While the acting, especially from Ella Beatty, gets some praise, it's not enough to save a film that feels like a retread of better stories about obsession.
