Wonderful character development!
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
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.
