Léa Seydoux as Florence and Vincent Lindon as Guillaume staring at a screen in The Second Act.
The Big Picture Considering the number of times that Paul Thomas Anderson is used as a punchline in The Second Act, the latest feature from writer-director Quentin Dupieux, it shouldn’t be entirely surprising that the mind begins to wander to great films like Boogie Nights and The Master. Oh, how one wishes they’d been watching those movies instead of this one.
Release Date May 14, 2024 Director Quentin Dupieux Cast Lea Seydoux , Louis Garrel , Vincent Lindon , Raphaël Quenard , Manuel Guillot Runtime 80 Minutes Main Genre Comedy Writers Quentin Dupieux Studio Chi-Fou-Mi Productions Instead, just when you think this movie about making movies is starting to get somewhere interesting, it reveals itself to be only a sporadically funny satire with a surprising lack of teeth.
However, rather than feeling like the fourth wall is being truly broken in any meaningful way, it is part of Dupieux just persistently poking at it. Some of this can be somewhat goofy fun, with Seydoux proving to be a real riot in small asides, but the majority of it is rather superficial. When all four actors convene in a remote restaurant, a locale that is practically bursting with potential, they just carry out what they all know to be a generic film.
The Second Act' Is Only a Half-Hearted Swing Close Make your characters truly distasteful and not just abstractions of them. Let’s go for broke in getting into the way that people can become so wrapped up in themselves and what they’re making that they lose sight of the craft along the way.
