About this movie

More than two decades after catapulting to stardom with THE PRINCESS BRIDE, an aging actress (Robin Wright, playing a version of herself) decides to take her final job: preserving her digital likeness for a future Hollywood. The studio will control her captured ‘image’, and she will star in any film they want with no restrictions. In return, she receives healthy compensation so she can care for her ailing son. © 2013 Bridgit Folman Film Gang, Pandora Film, Entre Chien at Loup, Paul Thiltges Distribution, Opus Film, ARP Selection.

Ratings and reviews

But never delivered. Liked it visually, but left me feeling disappointed. Liked the fact that the movie made a point (time and time again) that the lead had made bad choices about what movies to be in her whole life after Princess Bride. This is life imitating art, imitating life.

Do yourself a favour, watch something else instead.

Its wonderful movie for thinking people.
