Ellie Parker is at once hilarious and harrowing, and in being so, seems right on target.

A good movie, fearless and true, observant and merciless. Naomi Watts was brave to make it and gifted to make it so well.
Coffey, a tart comic mind who should cast his net farther from the 405, pads his story with more and more familiar degradations, and Watts plays each one to the hilt.
For Ms. Watts, it is a small, brave acting tour de force.
A splendid idea for a film goes largely wasted despite a brave performance by Naomi Watts as a struggling actress trying to figure it all out in Hollywood.
Without Watts, Scott Coffey's feature-length expansion of his identically titled short wouldn't amount to much.
