I have always been a skeptic when it comes to student films that walk the fine line between dark comedy and social satire. "Auteur" is truly a breath of fresh air in a time when just about anyone who can press a record button decides that they have the right or privilege to become a filmmaker.
Superbly written by Alex Simon, this film could not have come at a more relevant time in the turbulent history of the film industry. Films about film-making are nothing new, but what makes this one special is that it succeeds at every level, outlining a somewhat complex premise and resolution with relative ease and fun.
I should have been confused, but instead I was engaged. Great job!
