Films within
The core of film structure these days is elaborating on where the viewer is. The two historical devices are films within, and noir, where an unwitting soul is manipulated for our amusement.
So it makes sense that we would from time to time have both in a modern construction. I think the writing is clever and all the components are delivered well. The fulcrum here is sex, as it should be.
The reason this not recommended is because it doesn’t take us anywhere. It is effective and clever but to no effect. It does not aim at changing me. Some folks think the story has something to do with cancel culture. I think not.
