Star magazine review

STAR Magazine


What it's about: An aspiring actress (Watts) must cope with the pressure of demeaning auditions, a career that's lost its spark and an unfaithful boyfriend (Mark Pellegrino) in this mock-documentary gem of dark comedy.

Star power: Sure, everyone is going to be talking about Watt in King Kong — but the title role here is some of the rawest, realest acting she's done since 21 Grams. She's a great sport, working without vanity or fear for writer-director Scott Coffey, who shot the whole thing with a small digital video camera over a period of five years. She captures the desperation of someone struggling with her own identity while trying to lose herself in his acting roles. And look for Chevy Chase in a briskly funny cameo.

Long story short: Naomi takes a comic risk — and it pays off
