Anna Baskin in 44
years old and she is an actress.
She has been in a successful TV role and she’s not happy about where her
character is heading in the show.
Anna stays up all night, she lives on cocaine, Ritalin and
Wellbutrin. She has a week off from
the show and then she needs to meet with everyone involved about her
character. She returns to her
previous apartment in New York.
She is struggling with the life she has now and she can’t seem to fit
back into her former life. There
are a lot of things going on. Her
friend Kate is forced out of her apartment because she can no longer afford the
rent. Anna is suffering from
burnout and she also has an autoimmune disorder. The acting industry is difficult on both the inside, the
outside and especially for women.
Anna really has it
all but she can’t get her mind around this fact. There are many people in the world that would trade
places with her. Maybe, if you
spend too much time in an unreal world, you can’t see yourself anymore or what
you are doing to yourself? This
film feels like a play but it isn’t and to me that can be a detrimental to my rating. 3* (This movie was OK)
