★★★★½

Could be this film one the best of this decade?
From my point of view it is.
I had been too much time without find a film of this magnitude.

In spite of I didn't like those several and sauvage scenes this good could be a masterpiece if it would have done more polite...

This is a fantastic film, with a criticism massive around Hollywood industry. The topic treated here is, once you get old, you will never get a main role in entertainment world.
For that reason when a person who have been working on TV once she get older, she will never work on it; being this fact terrible for her, cause she has to see how she is being replaced for other younger than her.
Sadly, this fact had been happening in this industry for so long.
For that reason many of her, just decide to take drugs with the purpose of to be more beautiful

I didn't like this film, but I know recognize the value and the talent around here, for me this was so disgusting, raw, awful, and to be honest some scenes absolutely unnecessary...

But I enjoyed this film cause of the screen, how the symmetry takes place in, there is not any scene which have been done in a wrong way.
Talking about the soundtrack is brillant , I hope this will be awarded...

Kubrick would be really proud of this filmmaker after watch this jewel of cinema.

I almost forgot that Demi Moore deserves the award as best actress of this 2024!!

Finally I must to say that for me this film is the best till this moment in 20's decade...
You'll have to watch it despite is too hard to do it, cause of the scenes.
This film cannot be forgotten.
