My quick rating - 5,8/10. This most likely is rated higher, but the supporting cast just dragged this down so much. I did still enjoy the Lynch,Cronenberg-esque style of this film though. Some very nice imagery used to set the tone, and the lead is just fit for the role. She plays an obsessive actress that will do whatever she needs to succeed (or in this case, just get a part). All of that of course leads to the downward spiral. Reading reviews using "disturbing" and grotesque" are a stretch, since the gore, nor psychological attack is not either, but it does seem to be a "hit home" thing that I would bet L.A. sees a lot in struggling talent. The trip to get to the end is enjoyable to watch, and the ending itself is very well done, and since I can't give spoilers, there are some nice nods to old cinema sprinkled in as well.
