Critic Reviews for Mistress
All Critics (17) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (12) | Rotten (5)
Can't seem to decide if it's supposed to be a comedy about Hollywood small-timers trying to get an indie pic off the ground, or a somber drama in which greed and lust overwhelm art.
The gags are too obvious; the conflict between art and money is hackneyed; and the plot goes badly off the rails in the later reels.
"Mistress" abounds with sharp comic performances that never stray into caricature or sentimentality.
Seeing Mistress is like getting a bad table at the in Hollywood restaurant. You're eavesdropping on all the dull conversations.
Although it's never worse than watchable, the story barely expands beyond its own boundaries. It starts off appealingly small -- the way the old Albert Brooks movies used to. But it stays small.
Primus brings a scruffy intimacy to "Mistress," which distinguishes it still further from "The Player" with its palmy California setting.
