Actors Anonymous

2017 · 96 min

A patchy, earnest ensemble drama that drifts between Hollywood glamour and quiet desperation, more interesting for its ambition than its polish.

Overview: The film adaption of James Franco's popular novel Actors Anonymous, exploring the lives of young actors in Hollywood, from the highs to the lows, to the lies and the heartbreak.
How it feels: Melancholic, dark, earnest and cynical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Ambition, identity, obsession, addiction
Content: Strong language. Mild violence and sexual content. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
