Gia Coppola impressed me a few years ago with Palo Alto, she kept herself pretty lowkey after that. Her sophomore effort is Mainstream, and it ups the style and the actors are great but after the first 30 minutes the film crumbles. It is supposed to be a takedown of internet culture, vloggers, people on their phones, but it not only begins to point the finger at everyone with a phone but it soon becomes a film where the characters themselves become those they hate....which is odd cause they kind of start off that way too. There really is no character growth, just a narcissistic trust fund baby/sociopath that mocks life yet wants nothing more than fame. While the acting is great the characters are awful, intentional sure but the story doesn't warrant it.
