    Saying about ...

    What is art? And what is art allowed to do? Everything as many suggest and is also being implied in the movie here? The beginning of this is quite promising. An actress and the way she is treated. I guess this has some personal experience written all over it. At least it feels as real as it gets, no matter what. Overall the performances are rather good for a (German) independent movie.

    It does get cliche towards the end though and suggests more than it can actually handle. The last sting delivered is missing. Even with the "twist" (which I think is foreseeable for many), it doesn't affect the viewer as much as it should - or actually could. A decent independent try, that will find its audience, especially when available to stream for free on Prime as it is right now
