Synopsis: Ellie is a young woman pursuing an acting career in Los Angeles.
Appraisal: This film tries to be a portrayal of the psychological afflictions of an aspiring actress, who is subjected to an abnormal amount of stress and frustration, while at the same time risking to lose her identity because of the demands of her profession. The main flaw that I see in this film is that some dull bits (day off to see the apes in the zoo? get real...) could have been cut out without upsetting anyone (it wouldn't even make the editing room dirty, since it's made in digital video...). The main actress is excellent, and this gives a film a hell of a leverage. I guess the main virtue of this film is that it succeeds, in its better bits, in being realistic and funny at the same time.
