This is a nice retake on 8 e mezzo. It would have been ridiculous for Swanberg to write about writer's block. So it's about actors feeling for other other actors. And the acting is good. And it's probably accidental, but something in the scenes reminds me of the Eastern European dramas from three decades ago. And the contrast with the governmental made actors makes the characters in here seem even more natural. In a way in character, the people in here are more real than the Eastern European actors in real life.
Still, the script is a bit convoluted. By half time I was having a hard time following who has sex with whom and desires whom. Each relationship could have been made into a short NetFlix series. For a feature film it sure needed some more rewriting.
