Radha Blank wrote, directed and stars. She plays a New York playwright who had a promising career in her 20s. As she nears 40, her career is in crisis. She’s struggling with the producers of her new play who are gentrifying the production, while considering a new direction as a rapper. Blank has talent: She’s sometimes funny and somewhat charismatic. Her film has some enjoyable moments, but her plot too often selects the predictable options. This is truly a Blank-focused project, so if you find her personality appealing, her story will prove interesting. Otherwise, it’s a specialty product that’s mildly entertaining.
