Such a frustrating disappointment
Overrated and overhyped
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
