It's about Hollywood in it's early primitive years, though not much different from today where it swallows up and spits people out. Essentially a foil to Chazelle's La La Land's ode to the sweetness and magic of Hollywood, where this is a nod to the dirty, grimy, insanity of it all. I thought it was highly original and incredibly ambitious. Give me more movies like this rather than green screened avengers multiverse tripe.

I liked it as well, worth seeing for one scene alone. The first "talkie" shoot on the soundstage, absolutely brilliant and hilarious.
I can see how it could be too much for some viewers but I agree we need more films like this instead of the usual comic book stuff.
