“Did 'Misty Green' Just Give Us Our Next Best Actress Winner?”
“Her name is Rosalind Eleazar.”
“Chris Rock's pitiless take on Hollywood's ability to crush souls works best as a showcase for its lead — a British actor who absolutely kills it here By David Fear David Fear Contact David Fear on X Did ‘Misty Green’ Just Give Us Our Next Best Actress Winner?”
“Rock’s now given her a prime showcase, a stage on which to rage.”
“But in terms of people already talking about statuettes for Eleazar — to paraphrase an old Chris Rock routine , we understand.”
“Olivia Wilde Has Entered Her ‘Lack of F-cks Given’ Era ‘The Uprising’ Follows a 14th Century Populist Revolution.”
“His new movie Misty Green — which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last night — kicks off with a photo montage that pinballs between glitzy premieres and grungy street life, gorgeous Santa Monica sunsets and downtown tent cities.”
“Misty Green is, it bears repeating, not a comedy — it’s as pitiless a critique of Hollywood’s double standards, racial biases, and blatant hypocrisies as you’re likely to find.”
“Green still hooks up with a handsome A-lister ( Adam Driver ) she was in a movie with a long time ago, but their relationship is centered around after-hours coke binges and morning-after shame.”
“Hope, or something like it, arrives in the form of a chance meeting with an old acquaintance named Jordan (Rock).”
“You almost feel like stations keep getting added to the cross that is Green’s to bear here.”
“She just need to contend with a few things, like a brother (Daniel Kaluuya) who’s bipolar and just got out of a stay at a psychiatric-care facility.”
“But there are in-jokes abound, from the way that gossip travels around Tinseltown (the maxim around getting back-channel deals done: “Work the wives”) to Green complaining that she can’t get work because “I’m not a nepo baby or a Brit!” (That Eleazar and Kaluuya both hail from across the pond ensures the irony gets a laugh.) There’s also a lot of peripheral stuff going on, including a childhood catastrophe involving Misty’s brother that’s left purposefully ambiguous, Misty’s friend (Anne Kendrick) dealing with relation ship strife, news reports about a female USC student who’s been murdered, and the fact that the LAPD is pulling over and questioning any male with pigment because of the case.”
“And while the story itself will seem very familiar, the undercurrents of contempt will come off as more than a little problematic, and the various subplots orbiting the film’s main narrative will run the gamut from pretty convenient to extremely WTF, Rock has the benefit of a thermonuclear weapon in his arsenal.”

“Their young ingenue of a lead can’t hold a tune, anyway.”
“Consistent viewers of British imports on big and small screens — TV shows like Harlots, movies like Rose of Nevada and The Personal History of David Copperfield — have been clocking her work for years.”
