Steve Buscemi directs, acts, and co-writes a small Indiewood movie with Sienna Miller about a political journalist who ends up interviewing a Hollywood star he knows next to nothing about. At first they don't like each other, and then after an accident they find themselves in her sprawling studio apartment going through the levels of emotion and attraction as becoming two people physically attracted but absolutely not meant for each other.
It's a nice "short-story" sort of film, the type of narrative that fits into a short story but managed feature length. For the most part it was interesting and fun, especially since I'm a pretty big Buscemi fan. I liked it most because Buscemi played an jerk-after-my-own-heart, a venomous commentator who doesn't realize that half the problem is that he's as shallow and unimportant as his detested subject. Sienna Miller was all over the board.
Except for a rough and unnecessary twist-form of ending, it makes a nice little dramatic comedy, a great exercise in acting, and a fun Indie-mentality small film. Recommended for people who just want a quiet night with some wine.
