    I get that it's this porn/b-series/pulp film aesthetic, and very meta, blurring reality... I know it is a Hitchcock rip-off that doesn't take itself seriously and is very campy at moments... I just don't think I get it.

    I particularly disliked the nonexistent character development and the continuity-less reverse/shot play. And the main actor.

    If you are going to pay homage to Hitchcock, you're not allowed to be this clumsy.

    Pure joy. Barbra is incredible, and those shots of studio, streets, boats!
    I can't believe this is her START in movies...
