Reviews
" Accurate satire with swipes at the marketing strategies of the American film industry. Played remarkable and complex in the description of human relationships, but not consistently enough in the critical attitude. "
"The film strives to many characters at the same time, losing the most interesting out of sight. "
"Mr. Alda does not view the world through the periscope of a filmmaker from Hollywood. He sees them fully to respect more or less like all of us, we take the subway and newspapers and read books without a marketing value. "
