Official Competition (2021) ☆☆☆(3/4): A director and her two difficult stars
“Official Competition” is simply hilarious as having a naughty fun with its one-joke story premise. Although it comes to lose some of its comic momentum during its last act where the mood becomes a bit more serious, the movie continues … Continue reading
