Review of Living in Oblivion

I have absolutely no idea why this jewel isn't known by more people. Seriously Living in Oblivion is one of the most underrated films ever. Maybe it's because of its low budget and independent release. I'm not saying the movie's perfect, cause I don't think it is, but it should definitely get more recognition that it does. The film is funny as hell and insightful, it shows you a side of movie making that feels very real, as the characters do feel like actual people struggling with certain situations in their lives. Steve Buscemi is great in the film as the struggling director who is just trying to get his film done. Pretty much the whole cast does a great job. Danielle von Zerneck, who plays Wanda, the Assistant Director, is absolutely brilliant. This is apparently the last film she was in and I really have to wonder why. She did a fantastic job in this one. Like I said, the movie is flawed, in my opinion, as there are certain scenes which feel like they stall the plot. But there are very few of these moments in the film and they don't take away the fact that Living in Oblivion is an excellent film.
