Standout Aspects

Writing

Meta-comedy that winks at every wannabe auteur's delusions.

Acting

Sibony's earnest desperation makes the con almost sympathetic.

Direction

Jacques clearly knows the hustle he's satirizing.

Best for:Solo: When you're feeling like your dreams are too big for your wallet.·Friends: Film school friends who've all faked credentials at least once.·Background: Charming enough to half-watch while plotting your own heist.
