The Rep

Completely biased five stars – For someone looking at it from the outside, The Rep is an hour and a half of naïve, nerdy talking heads jabbering to no end about their hobby that has become a job, and now they have their hands full with work. For the biased viewer, however, it is an emotional roller coaster and exciting thriller. Regardless of the degree of personal projection into events, this documentary deserves praise for its clever screenplay, which uses a standard dramatic arc so that in the end it more forcefully drives home the point underlining the central thesis of its topic: Doing cinema is a beautifully devastating affair of the heart with the most uncertain outcome, but also with unforgettable moments.
