Richard Linklater directs Guillaume Marbeck, Zoey Deutch and Aubry Dullin in this behind the scenes comedy about the making of Breathless.

The casting is spot on, the movie handsome and it clearly is passion project. Yet I’m a Linklater stan who has very little time for Godard. His earliest films are easily his best by country miles. Were they revolutionary? Was he an insufferable prick? This movie accidentally makes the better case for the latter. Confirming my prejudices like a Rorschach test. Hard to care about really once it hits a petulant luvvy rhythm. Inside baseball.
