“A movie about two childhood friends getting into showbusiness at the same time, one being more successful than the other, which puts a strain on their relationship. This is only half of the story though, there are lots of other things going on but itu0026#39;s hard to talk about it without spoiling something. I did like the performances. But ultimately I found the story (or the moral of the story) a little bit confusing because I didnu0026#39;t quite get what motivated some of the main protagonists to some of their rather drastic actions.”
