Description

Well-Defined, downtown, witty, smart — this dazzling introduction may be the thinking woman’s response to chick-lit Maxime is definitely an entertainment writer in a neo -con paper. She’s been dining-out too much time, figuratively and literally, on the tradition of celebrity worship and vacant punditry. She seeks refuge from her better view in limitless events, routine drug abuse, and half-hearted efforts to get himself shot, however in a libertarian newsroom where crazy spin may be the simplest way to market documents, her bad-gal conduct simply wins her more accolades.Along this course of self-destruction, Max’s past, witty and touching, maintains intruding: recollections of her mother’s raw demise and her hippie father’s debilitating malfunction; the reappearance of an aging vegetarian idealist who quickly performed her stepmom around the West-Coast commune where she got old; sensitive realizations concerning the bad performer she was designed to marry and An extended-lost sweetheart who appears exotically rational. Whenever a sponsor of previous indiscretions ultimately catches up with her, Maxime understands that any chance at happiness depends upon discovering, at last, her one true story.Set throughout the chaos of the Toronto International Film Festival and weaving back and forth between Max’s commune previous and her newsroom present, How Pleased to Be shows with razor-sharp perception and bittersweet humor a contemporary woman’s ancestry into — and ultimate escape from — the noisy pop-culture sound of early twenty-first-century.
