Loving account of the making of the legendary The Room - similar in affection to Ed Wood - though it does lack that film's galaxy of characters (most of the people in this are alive). It also lacks a death.
It focuses on the bromance between Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero - the other characters don't get much of a look in (there's the continuity person, a DOP, a girlfriend). The film's ace in the hole is the character if Wiseau, as mysterious as any Clint Eastwood hero - of uncertain age, nationality, financial status, mental state. It's a bravaura characterisation.
The script is very good - I think it's the best possible version that could've been done of the story while everyone's alive.
