    Uncomfortable
    Niché, meta and fully active within the realms of filmmaking, this certainly isn't a picture for everyone.

    Anyone who has worked on sets, be it for plays, TV or cinematic movies, gets a recommendation from me for this.

    The first 8 minutes already make for a quite uncomfortable viewing experience for me, a feeling that will come back multiple times throughout the movie.

    Every end of the production is highlighted.

    The intrigues, the compromise and especially the hypocrisy that's part of nearly all filmmaking processes.

    An emotional rollercoaster with performances that will make you want to stay away from some of these actors in real life as well, especially stemming from this couldn't - be - more - meta topic.

    I would love to know how all of this real people communicate with and act around each and every other person they encountered during production afterwards.

    As the caption tells you, the adjective that puts it best by far: Uncomfortable.

    9/10.
