Famous 2021
1h 50m | Drama | 10 December 2021 (USA)
Storyline:Famous was filmed live on stage in the height of the #MeToo movement. Inspired by the lives of Young Hollywood stars like River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Heath Ledger and Corey Haim, Famous takes you on a non-stop thrill ride behind the glamorous world of Young Hollywood and into the mind of A-list celebrity, Jason Mast. What appears to be a night of celebration for his first Oscar nomination, turns out to be an intricate plan to confront his past. Driven by a devastating need to expose the truth, Jason attempts to control the outcome of the evening and ignites a chain of events that pushes the boundaries of real friendship and reveals the true cost of fame.User review:Famous is a film with plenty of cleverness but not a lot of depth, borrowing its emotional weight from elsewhere. Butler is good, exercising more restraint than the others and making her character feel like a human being, but she can’t carry it on her own. There’s not a great deal said here that hasn’t been said many times in other pieces of art, and often with more skill, but Famous does do something important by helping to broaden the conversation and emphasise that young men as well as young women have been victims. it also points up the damage done by non-sexual forms of abuse, by constant pressure placed upon young people who have no tools with which to defend themselves. There’s some particularly poignant material addressing Hollywood body image issues and the connection between abuse and eating disorders.
