    Really entertaining, experimental piece of work with a beyond good performance by Naomi Watts.

    Shot piecemeal over around five years, Ellie Parker is a pseudo-biographical account of one actress' attempts to 'make it' in the movie world.
    Naomi Watts is our tragic heroine here, again turning in a superbly real performance, most tellingly in that before David Lynch had the ...( read more)insightfulness to grant her the lead in Mulholland Drive, most of Parker WAS her life. Unlike her 'pro-creativity' best friend, Parker is a method actress, requiring her to put herself through abject trauma in order to land herself a role. This aspect of the storytelling is the lynchpin for the movie's plot, highlighting not only the difficulty of balancing life and art, but also the poisonous nature of Hollywood, an industry that profits from people's pain.
    In this regard, the film is also funnier than you'd expect, seeing Watts changing clothes and perfecting accents for trashy roles whilst driving to casting auditions!
    Coupled with this are her unreliably moronic boyfriend and fling with a 'hot-shot' producer, which serve to make Parker's life worse, which of course conversely helps her acting!
    Perhaps the best satire since The Player, and a decent comparion piece to the mighty Mulholland Drive.

    Tragic and painful to watch - but at the same time, utterly brilliant film making. Naomi Watts hits us with a tour-de-force performance that isn't too far off from her role in Mulholland Drive.

    An extremely uncomfortable movie-going experience. I would never watch it again. But Naomi Watts kept my interest in a truly brave performance. Apparently this was supposed to be funny? I think I smiled twice. It's not that dramatic or eventful either. The best way to descr...( read more)ibe this is "uncomfortable."

    So the artsy nature of this probably appealed to me. I really like the story. One of the better slice of life movies I've seen.
