The film

The Real Review

People are pretty split on this, basically a three-way tie between love, meh, and hate. The premise of an aspiring actress getting sucked into the orbit of a controlling coach, with Ella Beatty playing Hannah and Ari Graynor as Melanie, lands as dark and familiar, but people disagree on its execution. Where it loses viewers is the pacing, with a handful finding it unbearably slow. It’s a bleak, talky story that some connect with and others just can’t get through.
