not as good as all the hype

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

A thoughtful and profound work filmed beautifully, with stirring lyrics to acoustic songs that reflect what Joey is going through, and perhaps thousands of artists, musicians, writers also caught in the mill of having to make a living while remaining themselves.
