The Actor

'The Actor is NOT a "HORROR" movie, it is a depiction, a scary reality if you will, of the life of an Actor and his place on our social media totem pole.

LIKES, FAME, FOLLOWERS, there is always someone else who has more and everyone else expect from you to try harder to gain relevance.

This movie retains the balance between this psychotic state and a very hilarious approach to telling of one's journey to becoming the "greatest".

By the end, I didn't know what to make of it, but now I understand the film much better. This film is must viewing, it brings out the truth about today's world - Nothing but stupid people becoming famous.

We live empty lives attached to phones, controlled by social media and slaves to likes.

quality acting! The cinematography is stylish, and music was hypnotic.

Overall, see it, it's satire, black comedy, social commentary and more!

This movie is clearly a satirical look at our society and the constant need to remain relevant in social media standards.

I have to say I am shocked and some of the reviews I have seen on this site for this movie. It seems to me that the majority of moviegoers who have chosen to review here are only capable of viewing a movie at face value.

I will admit that the film does appear to have flaws but that's it's je ne said quo. That was the entire point of this film it seems.

What I took from this film is what I have always felt about our obsession of fame. Actors are inherently insecure, which is why they choose to be in an industry where there is a need for constant approval. The artists who are worth their salt risk everything to entertain...us.

This film cleverly mashes narcissism, social media obsession, and the glorification of fame with homicide, but you may laugh so loud at the protagonist Joseph Kehr that you won't be able to hear yourself laughing with him. There are some slow moments but the build up for the final audition scene is hilarious. Pay attention.

Joseph Kehr is a punching bag of the movie. It's a startling, disturbing picture of social disarray, Low Budget Indie ahead of it's time. The blend of visuals, performances, and sound is pretty impressive for a no name brand. Curious to see what else they have in stored.

Enthralled in creepy moments, the humor comes from many of the strong supporting actors. Kaye Tuckerman blows the roof off in the acting school scenes.

Writer, Director and Lead actor, Bijan Daryani gives an unnerving performance as the antagonist Joseph Kehr.

The cinematography was spectacular.

The music was perfectly aligned with the theme and keeps the scenes tied together exceptionally.
