Hitting It Hard

About This Movie

Hitting It Hard is an intriguing documentary that peels back the curtain on the grueling press tour for Vanilla Sky. It’s fascinating to see the toll that relentless promotion takes on the stars, and the atmosphere is almost suffocating at times. The film’s pacing mirrors the exhausting nature of the junkets; it feels a bit repetitive, but that’s the point, right? The way it captures the mundanity of answering the same questions over and over again adds this unique layer of authenticity. The performances, or lack thereof in the traditional sense, are compelling as you watch the actors’ enthusiasm wane. It's distinctive in its raw portrayal of the less glamorous side of Hollywood.
