One review from Toronto film festival suggests it is a good movie but not yet released. Very low budget film of about 3000 Euros cost. When it comes out I would like to see but since it was a small budget Indie it may not be released for widesperad public viewing.
shareWhy not?

The marketing of a movie can usually cost more then the production of many movies. This may be more of a student film althought I do not know that for sure. When I went to Univ. of Southern Calif. (USC) I saw several student projects with some famous actors in them with no widespread showing. It may be this film may end up as a straight to DVD film since this trend seems to be growing with smaller budget movies. Again I have no firm evidence of this and this is just a thought on my part.
shareIt is ok but I think you really have to be a fan of independent style cinema to get much out of it. It could have done with having a tighter narrative and story in my view. It is easier to think kindly of the film though taking into account the small budget and it has some good music in it. America's Next Top Model fans might recongnise a familiar face towards the end as well.
SPOILERS: I would also like to have seen the flashbacks Frankie had touch on more negative incidents to give us more of an insight into how she ended up having a breakdown and ending up in the asylum. There were only two instances shown really that I would consider a hardship, firstly where she was treated badly by the photographer and secondly where she overhears casting people talking about her. These hardly seem enough by themselves though to give her a breakdown.
