"The characters and the dynamics between them drive this film. In a way, it is reminiscent of watching a behind the scenes special.
I found it to be very engrossing and entertaining watch. "

"I finished the first run for Irma Vep (2022) and popped on the app for something to watch. I was surprised to get the same alienated feelings that were brought up with the series. It was intense in the sense that you know all the pieces most the time and you feel for the characters out of the know. Easter egg: The production director is played by the same actor. When he is talking to his wife in the series about how long he has worked with René he replies "Fifteen year." "
