Review of Seduced and Abandoned (2013) by Matt H — 28 Jun 2014
The movie never adds up its parts well enough to feel like a complete film. It's mostly a hodgepodge of various clips from random filmmakers; the ones you feel Baldwin and Toback had the clout to get at Cannes.
Truthfully, I feel a light show like Entourage shows behind the scenes movie dealing better than this movie. In truth, they barely talk about the movie they want to make or show them trying to raise the money.
It's more of like "We like movies, and, hey look at the other movie people insiders we know that also like to generally talk about movies and moviemaking - here they are." While I enjoyed these aspects (I could listen to Marty Scorsese talk about movies for hours), if feels like filler for the movie they are supposedly trying to tell.
Again, none of the scenes about the attempts of raising money in "Hollywood" today are very in depth or informative.
