[1] A semi-fictionalized documentary, the film is a travelogue centering on Bédard Marcotte and cinematographer Isabelle Stachtchenko taking a road trip across the United States to Los Angeles, purportedly in the hopes of meeting and interviewing filmmaker and performance artist Miranda July.
[3] It also draws parallels between her quest and the film The Wizard of Oz, using voice clips from past interviews with Belgian filmmaker Chantal Akerman as the metaphorical good witch.
[4] Pat Mullen of Point of View wrote that "Bédard-Marcotte and Stachtchenko evoke a Sofia Bohdanowicz/Deragh Campbell tag-team vibe as they explore new spaces between fiction and non-fiction.
The persona of the Miranda July fangirl mostly serves as a surrogate for Bédard-Marcotte’s anxieties over making a career in filmmaking.
Their search ultimately asks if and how a young woman who shares July’s artistic inclinations can enjoy a similar success in Montreal.
