Baldwin and Toback make a snappy comic duo, and half of their talks with a line-up of luminaries focus on the art of filmmaking rather than the business.

Spirited, highly amusing and endearingly shambolic.

A good documentary about trying to make a movie, Alec Baldwin starring. Everyone telling the story of the first time they took their movie to Cannes. Also, the actors talking about what they love about acting, and how they create their characters.

The movie business is the worst girlfriend in the world. You are seduced and abandoned over and over again.
