This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

It's the day of the birthday party for Gus (David Duchovny). Movie stars Francesca Davis (Julia Roberts) and Calvin Cummings (Blair Underwood) meet at the airport as Catherine interviewing actor Nicholas. They fly from NY to LA. Lee Bright (Catherine Keener) is an arrogant, ambitious executive tired of her writer husband Carl Bright (David Hyde Pierce). Linda Sharp (Mary McCormack) is her masseuse sister. Small theater director (Enrico Colantoni) is doing a play about Hitler (Nicky Katt).This is an artsy poignant-wannabe. There is nothing more pretentious than an amateur play about Hitler. This is disjointed. The characters are only compelling because of the high class actors. Even the movie title is pretentious. It is lifeless and tiresome to watch. Director Steven Soderbergh often do experimental stuff. The problem is that none of these stories appeal to me.

People who didn't suss this movie as an important bit of film making are escapists who simply don't know film as an artistic medium capable of delivering truth. This is an uncomfortably pointy satire laced with dark comedic vasodialators about the Jerry Springer act that we all live 24/7. The layering of the relationships, the fun house magnifying glass turned on Hollywood culture and the often questionable artistic justification of performance were done with a sublime insider's eye for irony and the casual vapidity of the little circuses of circumstance that we find ourselves thrown into on a daily basis. Any savvy movie goer will lap up the seriously fine acting detail, camera work and subtle interplay of partially met expectations motivating the plot structure in every sequence, even the green/red 3-D ones which was pure freaking genius along with the extreme soft focus porn scene. "Full Frontal" is Hollywood on an X-ray dissecting slab in 21st century cultural bedlam. Hitler in an off off-Broadway micro theater, populated by friends of the cast, on a couch rambling on to his shrink about controlling his eccentricities, was the kind of hilarity that sticks with you like an interstate truck stop breakfast. I got nothing but respect for Sonderbergh who has the chops to do a French New Wave Cannes quality film with one hand tied behind his back. If I taught a film class, this one would be in the lineup just behind the Orson Welles ones.

This movie is excellent. Not the same commercial line as Ocean's 12 and 13. Ocean's 11 is perfect, pure Hollywood at its best. The other 2 anyone can see it was made because the crew liked so much working with each other... and a little more $ for all. Maybe, hoping, for funding good movies like this one. The way it leads us into the characters lives, visions, desires and disappointments... Its just beautiful. It shows how the movies about movie making became false. Showing true characters, true people behind them... Not just those absurd situations, that 'Rendevousz' shows. And David Duchovny gave a special touch to the unknown-but-loved-by-all Gus. Its intelligent, sensitive, smart and, above all, True. Again, I think its excellent. I recommend it.

Steven Soderbergh is a director who made a lot of successful box office movies like Ocean's eleven,Erin Brockovich or Ocean's twelve.But,sometimes,Soderbergh makes experimental films like Bubble or Full frontal(the movie I'll talk about on this commentary)which are not successful in the box office and they are movies that only some persons know them.Full frontal is a great experiment.The actors are perfectly chosen.Mary McCormack and the great Catherine Keener have the best performances.The movie is so well directed that an actress like Julia Roberts has a good performance.Full frontal is a great experiment that goes beyond the common and the emotions are real.
