At times Schimberg's gambits feel too coy, their aim too dry despite the sensational hooks. But more often than not, the immediate impact is engagingly droll, and there's no questioning the overall adventurousness, confidence and originality.
The script's showbiz satire shows occasional flashes of savage brilliance, and the meta aspects are thoughtfully composed, if occasionally self-indulgent.
Chained for Life expands on the idea of difference as a humanizing catalyst, and cinema is its playground.
Schimberg creates a melodrama that reflects on the terms of melodrama while also pointing toward a grass-roots cinematic revolution-movies made by people about their own experiences.
Chained for Life is a fine film about how disability is misappropriated.
Masterfully directed by Aaron Shimberg, Chained for Life is a wonderfully funny and empathetic meta-commentary, a behind-the-scenes drama in the style of Cassavetes' Opening Night and Truffaut's La Nuit Americaine.
