Odd case of a movie either too discombobulated or not enough so. Soap-operatic incident flattened by uninflected direction.
VOR:②
Even minus the film's bumpy production and exibition narratives, the tension on screen, as everyone tries to learn what movie they're making, is the film's most interesting hook.
