I am passionate about my profession and I am intrigued by people who are passionate about theirs. In this, Rosanna Arquette scores high. It is a documentary on the roles that are afforded female actors when they become elderly - which in Hollywood is the mid-thirties.
Since I like character-driven plots, I am frustrated that the distributors and producers of movies are missing so many opportunities for wonderful movies because so many of these wonderful actresses don't quite have the boobs of a 23-year old. (Although, just for the record, I like 23-year-old boobs).
This resonated with me. It is a documentary, so there isn't lot of plot or character to talk about. It is what it is. It is a well-done documentary on a valid topic that does not come across as whining, but as a valid issue which deserves some consideration.
As a postscript, if you like movies with wonderful female characters, check out "You Can Count on Me (Laura Linney)" and "In the Bedroom (Sissy Spacek, Marisa Tomei)".
If you care about quality cinema, this is worth the time.
