Review

I really love Billy. His movies are just so good. Norma really stole the show here. We saw her and immediately knew that she was powerful. In the Katharine Hepburn way of being immediately magnetic the moment they walk on screen. I mean, the woman's bed is a viking boat that will take her to Valhalla.

That last scene was particularly fantastic. Norma being so happy to be seen by her cameras again. And then she did a Lynch at the very end and came right for us in the audience. Truly she is terrifying. I was getting some Mulholland Drive vibes from the movie. I wonder if perhaps this film was an influence for Lynch? I could see it if so.
