Review of What Just Happened (2008) by Matej D — 20 Feb 2009

Very authentic and interesting portrayal of probably the most powerful movie producer in Hollywood. Everything that is so well-known in Hollywood is included in here, for example the famous "you'll never eat in this town again", "two picture deal" and so on.

But underneath those facts and famous adages there's a story about one man and his empty life: lying to everyone, divorcing, not enjoying anymore when producing movies, running up and down all day just to make things work and then to lose everything by the end of the day.

It is a mirror to Hollywood that shows all that garbage that's underneath its glamour and covers of Vanity Fair.
