Irma Vep
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
IRMA VEP is just the kind of role that actress Mira (Alicia Vikander) has been searching to play. Against her agent's wishes, Mira abandons pursuing a career full of superhero films and franchises. As soon as filming starts with odd director René Vidal (Vincent Macaigne), Mira juggles a whirlwind of rumors, romance, and her sense of self.
Is It Any Good?
This series effectively captures the dramatic monotony behind the production of making a TV show, but its pace is slow. Between critiques of the film industry and the slight surrealism, Irma Vep occasionally sets a meandering, convoluted pace. The characters and dialogue can be thought-provoking at times. Overall, this series may be more enticing to older viewers or fans who are familiar with the classic film.
