    ★★★★½

    A fascinating and layered look at authority and the undermining of life and production. 
    A satirical critique on capitalism and the paradox of power.

    It also cleverly satires the American Church and its involvement in politics.

    I liked it a lot.
    Another idea that could have crushed as a mini-series.

    A love letter to indie film. 

    Making a film is one of the hardest things a person can do. If we are lucky, we get the chance to make one… if you are blessed, you get to do it with people who love and support you. 

    One man’s dedication to his craft gives way to heart and comedy of man’s greatest wish… to leave behind something worth having. 

    Love this film. Glad I watched it!

    Shut up and just enjoy the ride. 

    American masterpiece. The way film was and should be.

    A film I so desperately wanted more depth from. 
    I could easily see PTA or Bennett Miller directing this and with a slightly better script… a potential like no other. 

    However, if the Academy Awards offered a “Beefiest Boy of the Year” — Zac Efron would win. 
    The guy is comedically huge in this.
