The plot idea is a good premise. There are a lot of pressures on aspiring actresses, and this is a cautionary tale on one of the choices that can make it easier. Unfortunately, the implementation was flawed. Seriously flawed.
The acting from the leads were ok, but broke down in some scenes. The acting from the secondary players was consistently weak. The direction was film student quality. There are too many voice-overs, instead of telling the story though actual acting.
This isn't the worst movie I have seen. I did make it through the end.

If you expect to see an A List actor giving his Oscar performance you are not in the right place. But if you are looking for a good story in an independent film with some unknown actors, then that is what you will get.
I liked the fact that the performances came raw, the fact that is set in LA but we don't really get where the main actress is based on the accent. This is something that gives even more authenticity as I have lived in LA and everybody is from all around.
I liked the movie and I won't get into any spoilers and I won't say I recommended it or not. What I like, other viewer might not and vice versa. Everybody with their own tastes, but I can tell you that you can get entertained with a true story by unknown actors.
Cheers.

How on earth this movie is currently rated as an 8 I do not know. This movie is unwatchable junk with no real plot. We watched for 30 minutes waiting for something to happen. Everyone is vaguely wooden like they are people who've only acted in few and now they are trying to make a real movie.
The lead character has no self-respect and no shame. The ending was awful. The only thing I liked about the movie was the music. In fact, I'd love to know the name of the song at an hour and five minutes in. Both Siri and Google were useless in this regard. The lyrics are something like this:
When i tick tock home the hour is getting late I hope you understand
Now don't get crazy, things are going great, it's just that I'm not your man
I'm leaving now.
This is a cruel place. It's time to make my stand.
I'm heading west to the USA to get some California sand.
...go back home to that lonesome road
I'm moving quick. This is the human race.
I won't be left behind.
It isn't hard to let it slip away.
I think I'm a casualty of time.
I'll be back. I ain't go no doubt.
Baby I won't even care.
I'm heading west out to USA to get the California air.
I'm going home.

I watched this movie and found it extremely entertaining.The prior two reviewers must be "haters" for some reason. I don't understand it. Maybe I'm too shallow to hate this movie. I liked it a lot. Somehow they have a grudge against someone affiliated with this movie. Watch it. You'll probably like it. I'm giving a review...not a critique.There's a difference!
