Synopsis
Ellie Parker (2005) is a sharp-edged Hollywood comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Scott Coffey and starring Naomi Watts in what is essentially a one-woman endurance sprint. The film grew from a short made in 2001, and that rough digital texture carries over: Ellie changes costumes in the car between auditions, cries in parking lots, and still turns up for the next callback.
Her musician boyfriend Justin is useless comfort, her friend Sam keeps her tethered, and a stranger called Chris — met after a fender-bender — makes her wonder whether Los Angeles is really where she belongs. Chevy Chase and Keanu Reeves both appear briefly. Watts is the reason to watch: she makes the comedy of desperation feel entirely lived-in. Stream Ellie Parker online on iFILM.
