CriticsCritics: 89
AudienceAudience: 7.6

A fading actor, once famous for playing a popular superhero, tries to revive his career by mounting a Broadway play. As opening night draws near, he struggles to find purpose, rebuild his relationships, and manage the pressures surrounding the production.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like character-driven dark comedy, lively dialogue, and stories about ambition and identity; Not for you if you prefer fast-moving plots or a straightforward, grounded tone.
