All About Actresses

Directed by Maïwenn1h 45m2009

A director wants to make a documentary about actresses, all actresses: the popular ones, the unknown ones, the intellectuals, the comedians, the forgotten ones... Filming everything, with or without their consent, the director gets caught up in the game and lets herself be devoured by these women, who are as fragile as they are manipulative.

Our read: All About Actresses (2009) reads as a neutral, steady, inventive comedy · drama entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
