Review by asaharris

Meandering, anachronistic and fatally overlong ode to the hedonistic climate of 1920s Hollywood. The film remorselessy rips off The Artist and Boogie Nights in its tale of starlet (Robbie) blazing her path through a hyperbolic vision of the industry during the silent period. Both stars are good as usual, but what are they doing in this movie? Doldrums set in after the 90 minute mark, but at least the set pieces look good, even if most characters look and sound like they've just dropped in from 2023. That said, if you loved Baz Lurhmann's The Great Gatsby and wondered what an X rated version would be like, this might be the film for you.
