Review

6.0/10★★★☆☆ 6.0
As Lee Simon emerges from the decadence of the media world and enters the celebrity playboy scene, the film leaves the viewer in the position of both a cynical observer and an empathetic observer. His career collapse as an unsuccessful newsman parallels his wife's turn to her own love life; These two axes masterfully establish the balance between comedy and drama. Visually colorful set designs and fast-paced montage reflect the fleeting and fleeting relationships of Lee's "new" life. The chemistry of the cast, especially Lee and Robin, creates natural tension between scenes; short-term relationships reveal the loneliness behind the fake shine. The models and actors in the supporting characters are more than just ornamental elements, they serve as a mirror that criticizes the superficiality of modern media consumption. The film ironically depicts an environment where business and love are intertwined during the television producer's shoot with Robin. The most striking aspect of the script is the blending of absurd anecdotes with realistic dialogues. The director's handling of the concept of fame from both a critical and humorous perspective attracts the audience; However, some side stories can be slightly distracting while serving the main theme. This absence leaves a gap that forces the audience to think, without breaking the general rhythm of the film.
