Movie Review: Sofia Coppola’s ‘On the Rocks’
The film does not add anything to its own conversation or genre, and falls flat once it’s about to end and must declare some sort of conclusion.
Prawda24
Alan Biernat, a talented young actor with speech problems, is faced with the difficulty of finding roles in the film industry. Desperate, he starts recording casting tapes, but to no avail. One day he comes across a script with a conspiracy theory theme. Instead of traditional casting, he decides to share the video online, which brings him unexpected popularity, although not because of his acting talent, but the content of his speech. Over time, Alan deepens his interest in conspiracy theories, transferring them to the screen as well. Gradually, he begins to believe in them, and playing the role becomes a real experience for him. The audience watches as the actor gradually becomes a character from his own films, losing himself in the whirlwind of conspiracy theories that he once only pretended to be.
