Blu-ray Review – The Queen of Hollywood Blvd.

Writer/director Orson Oblowitz explores the ugliness of Los Angeles in 2017's "The Queen of Hollywood Blvd." It's a study of a woman who's spent too much time in the shadows, dealing with all the crime and perversion she can handle over the course of one special day. Oblowitz isn't exactly reaching for originality with the tale, as the seedy side of the city has been the focus of many productions, inspiring a push to make a more colorful and angry understanding of moral corruption and violence, hoping to wow viewers with bright colors and exaggerated performances while barely tending to storytelling needs. "The Queen of Hollywood Blvd." is all flash and little substance, and even the flash starts to wear thin in a hurry. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
