Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
