Overview
Three actors learn that their respective performances in the film "Home for Purim," a drama set in the mid-1940s American South, are generating award-season buzz.
The good: the movie is an excellent satire of the movie industry and all of the satellite industries that feed off of it. As you would expect, the acting is top-notch as Guest brings in his usual bunch of veterans.
The bad: it just isn’t that entertaining. Sure, I smirked a lot as I recognized the various people and roles that they were poking fun at. As with The French Dispatch, maybe you’ve got to be part of the industry to completely appreciate it. By far the best scene was when Willard was interviewing Ohara’s drunk character in front of her house.
