Ari . Not quite as patently absurd as Kurt Metzger led me to believe. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm not impressed by all these bigshots patting themselves on the back about how intelligent, artistic, or rich they are. Shows the cynical business aspect of moviemaking and how most movies are rendered into predictable garbage because of business decisions. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a really interesting and entertaining movie about the business of film. Director James Toback and Alec Baldwin go to Cannes to pitch a movie they want to make. It is an enlightening look at how movies get financed for those who don't know, I saw this world and recognize it. It's all about stars and numbers, the script isn't important. They land some great interviews including Ryan Gosling, Jessica Chastain, Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola. This is a must for film buffs! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesante documental sobre el problema de recoger fondos para hacer una película. Tiene buenas entrevistas con Polansky, Coppola, Scorsesse, etc y da una buena visión del Festival de Cannes pero se queda corta y resulta muy superficial. Es divertida por las acotaciones de Toback pero el lastre de Baldwin no lo deja despegar. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Alec Baldwin and James Toback hit Cannes and give us a back-stage look at how films actually get financed. Toback is a bit sleazy in this, but Baldwin's interviews with directors and actors really shine. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A rare glimpse behind the curtain of the seemingly confidential world of the big money men driving the international film market. The balance of propaganda and art most famously studied in Battleship Potemkin is still and well alive. Alec Baldwin and other filmmakers shine with character while also the weight of their money and fame channelling reveal some fundamentals of human behavior.
