Ferocious – Ruhm hat seinen Preis (2013)

Ferocious – Ruhm hat seinen Preis: Directed by Robert Cuffley. With Amanda Crew, Kim Coates, Dustin Milligan, Michael Eklund. Leigh Parrish, a likeable, small-town girl, now famous actress, takes increasingly drastic steps to protect her fame.

“Kim Coates gives a two-for-one stellar performance in the film. Amanda Crew is terrific too, as is Michael Eklund. I found the screenplay well written and very well delivered, making for a relatively fast 93 minutes — a fine fulfillment of the thrilleru0026#39;s vision. Director Robert Cuffleyu0026#39;s treatment of the storyu0026#39;s monitor-and-mirror motif, definitely u0026#39;darku0026#39; in tone (much of the film is set in a dimly lit nightclub, after hours) becomes very big on the big screen; if we are paying attention, we recognize this u0026#39;monitoru0026#39; as a mirror (and that any mirror can itself be a u0026quot;mirage,u0026quot; as much as a monitor can). And to me an upclose- and-personal look at this reflection of archetypical truth, contextualized in clever and at times comical narrative, worth an eveningu0026#39;s and a few dollarsu0026#39; investment.”
