Tabloid Vivant Trailers

Max is an artist seduced by the allure of fame. Sara is an art critic whose obsessions exceed even his. When she lands a writing gig at a major art magazine, the pair retreats to a cabin in the woods, where Max reveals his strange new painting method. Convinced of its potential, she agrees to collaborate on a piece sure to revolutionize the art world. While both original and mesmerizing, the project reveals something dark and disturbing about their relationship. Like two digital-age Frankensteins, they manage to make a painting come alive - though the unsettling consequences of their success may be more fit for the pages of a blood-soaked tabloid than the chronicles of art history.

Reviews
PlatinumRead Just so...so bad
Patience Watson One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Leofwine_draca TABLOID VIVANT is a low budget art-house movie that's going to divide viewer opinion. Those who view films as art and enjoy abstract film-making processes will doubtlessly enjoy it for the depth, ambiguity, and meaning, while those of us who care more for concrete, old-fashioned narrative likely won't. I found it a chore to sit through, an overlong drama about a young couple working on the ultimate work of art. There's a twist ending of sorts and a metaphorical story about a painting coming to life in a novel way. I found the British actress in it deeply annoying with her over-the-top performance.
mjmapes-04438 This movie has a feel of a peyote trip and Ecstasy with in the art, and Jesse Woodrow turns in a performance outside his normal acting genre, playing believable torn artist with serious issues, He is glowing whether laughing or in a manic state, and his looks go outside cookie cutter and shows he is right at the top of his craft Tamzin is so believable and kinda modern naive and gorgeous like a young Angelica Houston with a hint of Genevieve Bujold Keep watching Jesse cause he is going to be everywhere and a darling of the small and large screen showing those bedroom eyes and long legs. It is a guarantee he is about to become a household name in comedy and drama
