This movie holds up in every single way. What an amazing film. I amazoned the Criterion today and the picture looked great. So fun too seeing who was on top in 1992 Hollywood. I think this might be one of my favorite movies of all time. Top 10? Top 15 for sure.

A fun movie set in Hollywood, I thought it was original and I had no clue what would happen next! I'm not sure if it's very rewatchable but I guess I'll find out in a few years.

While a murder investigation is going on and a Studio Executive - is being stalked by a writer he blew off. You really don’t like any of the characters, but I think that is what Robert Altman wanted. He even maybe wanted you to hate them. The acting is great and Lyle Lovett is perfect in his understated detective role. The theme of the movie is that box office and awards trumps reality every time… This one has so many cameos in it that this might be the Nexus for the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Game.

**A remarkable work.**

This is one of those films that I decided to watch without having a clear idea of ​​what I was going to find. I know that there are many people who like to know, read and even watch the trailers to decide what to watch, and I also do this moderately, but one of the sens More
