Summary...but ultimately not very good. Strangely unsatisfying
Review
Stylistically very like his previous (The French Dispatch) but not nearly as engrossing. Possibly the mlieu was less interesting (France trumps the Arizona desert almost anytime), possibly the nested stories were less well integrated (the write, the rehersal and staging of the play, and the story told by the play), but somehow less satisfying.
Lots of nice touches, but it didn't add up to a hill of beans.
