"The clubs were filled with rich kids and young actors who had just thrown up on their shoes in the bathroom and then took up space in the bar nodding out."
Isn't it funny how different people read things differently. I really enjoyed this crazy coke-fuelled ride through Hollywood. The fella seemed to only make pejorative comments about Julia's love life, which I thought was just not right. I'm sure if she was a man that would not be the comments he'd make. Anyway, enough feminist rant for one day - but seriously is there ever enough feminist rant for one day? Probably not.What struck me was a woman who was so capable and in control while completely out of control and that dichotomy makes for a truly compelling story. Sometimes the narrative is all over the shop - but that is to be expected. There are gems here and it is worth the effort.
Who couldn't love the woman who championed Close Encounters and Taxi Driver?
4 out of 5 close encounters abound.
