In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
The acting in this movie is really good.
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.
