    You know, I have never seen a film like this. While the pace is slow the chemistry between Jessie Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin offers an interesting dynamic that keeps you locked in the entire film.

Never throughout the film do you think his statements or actions are illogical which is tough for the character he plays. Jessie’s statement “my love letter to Poland” encapsulates the charm and scenery of this film perfectly. Would recommend a watch, made me feel weird in a way no film has.

This relation between imagination and reality mirrors the story’s focus on the blurred lines between preformance and situation. The story is completely character driven where Michael Keaton delivers a fantastic preformance of a washed up actor looking for…
