Title: The Player meets Living in Oblivion
Review: Nuts-and-bolts, wonderfully gossipy account of how to produce a movie .Hamsher's conversational tone draws you in and pulls you along on the wild ride that was the shoot for NBK.Yes, she is somewhat self-aggrandizing (as one would expect from any decent producer), but her partner Don Murphy comes across extremely well. He's about the only one, though. Her portrait of Oliver Stone as a drug and sex-obsessed maniac is pitch-perfect (and believable).Come to think of it, an enterprising director could make a damn good film out of this story (I see Sarah Polley as Hamsher, Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Don Murphy, and Stanley Tucci as Oliver Stone.)
Is the review positive or negative?
