Mise En Stupid

About This Movie

Mise En Stupid is this quirky comedy that dives into the absurdity of filmmaking ambition. You have Liam Paulson, who thinks he’s some sort of auteur but honestly, his pretentiousness is as entertaining as it is cringeworthy. The pacing is all over the place, which somehow fits the chaotic vibe of the story. The practical effects — or rather, lack thereof — add an interesting layer to the film's self-awareness. It’s like watching a train wreck of artistic overreach, and you can’t help but chuckle at the sheer ridiculousness of it all. The performances are a mixed bag; some actors really lean into the absurdity, while others seem lost, but that’s part of its charm. It’s distinctive in how it captures the struggles of creativity without really glorifying success.
