Los Angeles Overnight

Its so refreshing to see a non typical Hollywood move, depicting the darker side of Tinseltown and some excellent acting in a Indy film more like the style of early Hitchcock. This is Director Michael Chrisoulakis's first full length film and I am betting that we will be seeing a lot more of him. Peter Bogdonovich's voice as the hypnotherapist shrink is intoxicating, Lin Shaye was perfectly cast and so believable she is a great actess, the Lead Arielle Brachfeld, who is Priscilla is outstanding, but the one actor that I will never forget when I think about Los Angels Overnight is JamieLee Ackerman who was Else Sharpless. She is the outrageously over the top casting director. When I think the film I hear the click click click click sound of her high heels clicking across the huge sound stage, to the other side, finally getting to the actors auditioning. Else is dressed in way overly stylish outfits and hairdos all designed to intimidate the poor actors that she confronts, talking above them in riddles and treating them to below human lows. She was the best standout to me. I thought the music, drone shots were great and added to the suspense and emotion. The Los Angles shoot locations were not your typical glamorous ones but the gritty side, was way more interesting and believable. This movie will go down as a cult classic Indy. Its a MUST SEE.
