Review by thehuh

This is a very messy film. It's an ode to cinema that tries to do too much. That said, I did enjoy most of it. The final act is the most interesting.

Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie were great, but Diego Calva was most impressive to me. He is the "main character" (if you can argue that one story had more emphasis than the others) and he delivers with the most compelling moments. There's a lot of highs and lows in this movie, and Diego is in all the highs.

I wish there had been more of Sidney Palmer's story. His Hollywood journey was enough for a standalone film, and yet his story felt like an afterthought. Tobey Maguire was also introduced too late and we were robbed of a really creepy performance by him

Again, messy movie but it's worth the watch if you're ready for a chaotic story (and a long one)
