Couldn't wait till it ended. There was the best performance by Judd Hersh, too bad he wasn't on longer. Michelle Williams was dreadful. So unbelievable. I hope Steven's mother wasn't like that character she created. This is a personal story, but just doesn't hold your attention. Many parts were just plain boring. The actor that played Sam was mediocre for what he was given. I didn't think the character was consistent throughout. I guess you can be a great filmmaker and then screw it up when you try to do something that is close to you. The thread of the filmmaking was the only consistent thread throughout, but it is the story around it that missed its mark. The movie is too long. I don't know how long that was, but I wanted it to end much sooner. I don't know who wrote this, if this was him, but the story was disjointed. It never flowed.
