Review of Los Angeles Overnight (2018) by Steve%20 S — 25 Mar 2018

I loved watching this beautiful film so much I had to watch it twice! The setting is the gritty side of LA, the characters are great, quirky, interesting, and the settings are not the glamorous LA but the less beautiful LA.

The story is told very well. Your taken into the the story, with a Hitchcock feel and one really gets to understand how hard it is to Make It in Hollywood. How awful it is to be turned down by casting directors who control who will make it and who will not.

I truly enjoyed the casting director, who I was not familiar with, played superbly by JamieLee Ackerman. She gives you the feel for how mighty, evil, overpowering, overbearing these casting directors can be.

She put fear and desperation into the actors trying to get chosen by her. I wish I had seen more of her in the movie. Priscilla, the lead played wonderfully by Arielle Brachfeld, is trying to make it in Hollywood and will stop at nothing.

She keeps getting turned down, can't make ends meet at her waitress job and goes way way over the line - don't want to spoil it for you, but she never gives up no mater what. Lin Shay is great in this movie as is Peter Bagdanovich.

This film is destined to be a cult classic, I truly enjoyed it. I give it 5 stars!
