Rave Review

About This Movie

Rave Review is a curious blend of dark comedy and the L.A. theater vibe, with Jeff Seymour really capturing that chaotic energy of artistic ambition and failure. The plot revolves around Steve Maletti, a director whose mishaps lead to the untimely demise of a notoriously harsh critic. The pacing is somewhat uneven, but it works to heighten the absurdity of the situation. The performances are quirky, with a cast that embodies the eccentricities of the industry. It's not just about the laugh—there's a grim undercurrent that examines the pressures of creativity and the unpredictable nature of artistic life, making it stand out in the genre. Plus, the practical effects used in some scenes add a tangible, gritty feel that complements the dark humor.
