Ellie Parker

Um filme emotivo sobre uma atriz vacilante e a cidade de anjos. Eu não nego que me aborreci às vezes, nem que me ri às vezes. É realista, não pede desculpas e baseia-se em Naomi Watts, que realmente consegue interpretar absolutamente tudo. Uma espécie de diário de atriz fictício dos intervalos das filmagens de Mulholland Drive. (20/12/2009)

The positive aspect of the film about outsider actors who sweep every audition in the hope that the production will notice them and open the door to their dream fame is the participation of Naomi Watts, who is not only an excellent actress but also feels at home in these waters - simply put, she knows exactly what the film is about. Her colleagues do the same, as each one of them acts with enthusiasm. Ellie Parker is a typical indie film, maybe too independent, and it is one of those that seem to have been written on the spot in collaboration with the entire crew. It contains a number of interesting and relevant moments, as well as helpless passages and even situations that go below the level of general taste, such as the scene with blue vomit. Overall impression: 60%. (20/09/2009)

I haven’t seen such an amateurishly shot movie in a really long time. While Naomi Watts has already shown that she can be completely ordinary, her performance in this movie almost went against the film-making craft. The most exciting scene of this movie was definitely the one of Naomi sitting on the toilet. (04/06/2014)
