I would hazard a guess that this Best Picture Oscar nominee will garner a lot of industry attention because Hollywood loves movies about itself. This one is a homage to old Hollywood from the first frame of the rolling, black and white, opening credits. The topic is the making of a Hollywood picture, the characters are the who’s who of the studio era. Despite my crack about Hollywood’s infatuation with itself, this movie is skillfully crafted to mirror the filmmaking of CITIZEN KANE. The casting is stellar and the performances are well executed. In a season of exceptional motion pictures, this movie was nominated for 10 Oscars! I give this film a 10 (fine craftsmanship) out of 10. [Historical Drama].
