Brian J Sep 19 Great film and very insightful. See more ahs Sep 19 Junk. The whole point of being an actor is to portray someone different than yourself. This is possible because the camera is only permitted to record you for a fixed period. Add a 24/7 documentary into the chaos, and the actors now feel compelled to indefinitely bring their A-game. It's terrifying. A meltdown or moment of entitlement could end a career. It's the same way you feel when you invite your in-laws whom then overstay at your house. There is no one there to yell "cut" and mean it. For actors, too afraid for their careers to deny Higgis any camera access, this has to be exhausting. And so what you get is crap. The stuff of low production value. On film. In the documentary. And in reality. See more Karl O. @GalwayK Dec 28 It’s just not that interesting a documentary. The obvious comparison will be Hearts of Darkness , a movie that deals with the possibility of failure by virtue of bad luck, bad planning, the intervention of history and wayward egos. Megadoc seems to be a failure based on a terrible idea and huge D-List egos. The documentary goes into great detail on where the budget for Coppola’s Turkey was spent. It is evident that money was not spent on getting a decent cast. The movie is filled mostly with actors no one else will hire. The director Figgis obviously could not find much interesting footage. He features himself a lot. That is not a good sign. The documentary takes the easy out at the end and does not even mention the huge failure of Megaopolis. Dull movie filled with duller actors. See more Matt W @Lakerlver022 Dec 28 A really interesting documentary that gives an inside look into moviemaking. After viewing Megalopolis, it also gives a tough dichotomy. It’s bold, it’s artsy, it’s chaotic. But it’s up to you to decide if that’s the movie or the person directing it. See more Nicola S Sep 29 MEGAEMOTIONS!! Before there was MEGALOPOLIS and so MEGAEMOTIONS, then MEGADOC and MEGAEMOTIONS too! A immense Joy for the eyes❤️✨ as a huge fan of the original movie, I'm grateful to Mike Figgis for making me discovering all the bts and the secret of the movie🙌 See more Moody C @MoodyC Sep 24 It’s a great journey into one of most disastrous films of all time. This doc really explains why: The dude just wanna have fun and enjoy process and nothing more. As he explains in doc, he has all the money, fame, recognition, and Oscars he ever wanted so now it’s just about having fun. Lots of great interactions among famous actors involved and great insights into process from industry costumers to cinematographers to set designers and more. But funniest segments involve Shia LaBeouf and Coppola interactions where they just don’t get along for some strange reasons. I would not really mind if this was longer because it felt short since this is a very interesting and funny doc. See more Read all reviews
