Slice of life look at a young woman trying to make it as an actress in Hollywood. Ellie Parker, from Australia, works hard: she's gifted with accents, hustles to auditions, changes clothes and makeup as she drives across L.A., goes to acting classes and therapy, maintains a friendship with another Aussie searching for the same roles, meets a cinematographer when he bangs into her car at a stop sign, and faces a failing relationship with her slacker thinks-he's-a-musician boyfriend. All this brings on an identity crisis - who am I, and should I keep trying to be an actress? Ellie's balancing act and her inquiry into self carry the story.

| AboutFilm.comCarlo CavagnaWhile the material wears thin, every minute of this film is a tour-de-force performance. |
| Film Journal InternationalLewis BealeGame for almost anything, Watts displays serious comic chops and is, as always, a delight to watch. |
| Cinema SignalsJules BrennerA film has never been so representative of simultaneous reality than this little "inside" drama. Naomi Watts also shows us how many things a person can do while driving. |
| Denton Record-ChronicleTodd Jorgenson...the stretch to feature length hasn't done the material any favors. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.There's barely any redeeming features to note, including Watts who is just at her worst. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA good movie, fearless and true, observant and merciless. Naomi Watts was brave to make it and gifted to make it so well. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirThe sharpest, most authentic portrait of Hollywood life made in the last several years. (As a movie about contemporary Los Angeles, it's approximately 617 percent better than the monumentally bogus "Shopgirl.") |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasEllie Parker is at once hilarious and harrowing, and in being so, seems right on target. |
| Portland OregonianM. E. RussellWatts is a champ for seeing this through now that she's actually famous. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerGianni TruzziWatts and Coffey may have vaulted Hollywood's gated enclaves, but this affectionate film shows they haven't forgotten, nor idealized, their days among the ranks of the struggling and ambitious. |
