CGiii Comment

It is a tad self-indulgent and it really does make for uncomfortable viewing.

Ultimately, it's another film about hideous Hollywood folk.

As for LGBT content, there's nothing really....apart from Cumming, who is a bit of an enigma in that he keeps on making rather bizarre (and bad) films with strange character choices.

This is no exception.

The(ir) Blurb...

Celebrity couple Joe and Sally Therrian are going through yet another rough stage in their six-year marriage: while Joe's novels have been climbing higher and higher on the best-seller lists, Sally's film career has been steadily sinking into oblivion. Joe's been given the rights to cast and direct the screenplay of his latest book, but rather than resurrect Sally's career by casting her in the lead role, he's given it to Sally's rival, Skye Davidson. Even worse, he's invited Skye to their anniversary bash. Will the marriage, or anything else for that matter, survive the party?
