‘Misty Green’ Review: Rosalind Eleazar Stuns in Chris Rock’s Raw but Unfocused Hollywood Character Study
TIFF: The "Slow Horses" star is tremendous as a faded Black TV actress whose tendency for self-sabotage threatens to derail her comeback role.
Rosalind Eleazar brings energy and passion to her role as Misty Green in Chris Rock's film, which received its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. While Misty's troubled life is reflected in her chaotic apartment and troubled relationships, Eleazar's powerful performance showcases Misty's undeniable talent.
Despite numerous missteps and questionable decisions, Eleazar's Misty is a force to be reckoned with, fully embodying the character's struggles and desires. The film, a comedic yet poignant exploration of Hollywood's inner workings, is primarily driven by Eleazar's portrayal of a woman fighting for her place in the industry. "Misty Green" will open in theaters on October 9 from A24.
