“Powered by WordPress.com VIP TIFF ‘Misty Green’ Review: Rosalind Eleazar Stuns in Chris Rock’s Raw but Unfocused Hollywood Character Study TIFF: The "Slow Horses" star is tremendous as a faded Black TV actress whose tendency for self-sabotage threatens to derail her comeback role.”
“So yeah, it’s true that Misty is a complicated person in a business that’s still painfully simple in its approach to race, age, and second chances, but it’s also true that her inestimable talents as an actress are equaled by her gift for self-sabotage.”
“He’s the guy who lures her into a nightclub bathroom stall on the eve of her “Dreamgirls” audition, and plies her with all the drugs and dick she would ever need to self-justify not getting the part.”

“If such a degree of success even exists, it’s certainly not available to a woman like Misty.”
“But Rock’s unkempt script — its “Magnolia”-sized ambitions curtailed by a too-tight five million dollar budget and the visual dexterity of a stand-up comedian — isn’t satisfied with the vertigo created by those concurrent extremes, so it compounds the dizziness by dumping some more shit into Misty’s lap.”
“Enter: her vaguely troubled brother Jay (Daniel Kaluuya, another Brit), who’s released from a psychiatric hospital in the middle of this mess.”
“It doesn’t matter if Misty is going full “Shame” as she belts out a slow and beautiful cover of Radiohead’s “Creep” at a cocktail lounge, or if she’s helping her best friend (Anna Kendrick) try to reconcile her lust for Black men with her engagement to a very white one (Rich Sommer), or if she’s trying to hold back her vomit as she records her umpteenth self-tape audition for the kind of painfully stereotypical role that she needs but prays she doesn’t get, Eleazar’s performance unfailingly burns with the self-defeating fire of a woman who’s looking for freedom in all the wrong places.”
