Well that was uh pretty damn good. Never more enjoyable than in its first hour, but never more interesting than in its second, when it gets more and more self-reflexive and self-referential and has a more and more active dialogue with itself. It's a film fundamentally built on contrast - between the reality and fantasy of relationships, the reality and fantasy of Hollywood, success and failure, the artificially created "movie magic" and the very real effect it has on people... with everyone involved here deliberately using mundane reality as fodder for their own moments of movie magic, only to have that reality undercut everything again. Yet the movie retains its own kind of magic through all of it.
