It's a nice movie, about so sincere, devoted and sensitive man, and the liberation of his real talent, but I have some notes about it.
Firstly, the character of (André) himself. He seemed that shy man who was pure as a good child, but sometimes he seemed as that hopelessly stupid, especially when he thought that he killed the actor, and put him easily in the trash box, to push him again in the hole at the play's first night! So he killed the poor man twice and hided it twice too?! That's not my deeds as a shy person myself! Moreover, the weird end with (Andrei) riding the white horse like his faith in himself, and the belief of the audience, made him such a true knight running in shining confidence! In fact, from where our good old (André) learned to ride, and in that kind of ability?! So How on earth that arrogant star could forgive him in a quick simple way (the star even waved him goodbye?!), from where he had such great sportsmanship?! And with who?! The man who killed him twice?? I thought that when a star like him saw the smash success of the foolish prompter, he had to be calm or a little humble, or maybe if he did something wrong and (André) was the only person who knew about then that ending would be logical, or ANYTHING that could make me believe that fabricated, kind of fanciful, ending with the star leaving peacefully, and the ex-stumbling prompter walking around the farms like he came back to his reality as a knight from the middle ages!
Another bothersome point: there is something wrong with the character of the arrogant star, and what he faced. He complained about an armor that hurt indeed, he had huge amount of gas in his belly (!), he tried to make one slight pass at the writer's wife and insulted the main character, then he had been hit badly and put in the trash zone, to had such humiliating journey in underground tunnel for more than a day and night! Mainly I didn't feel him as an evil person who deserves those torturing events that he suffered. For instance, he saw the wife in the bathroom by coincidence not in intentional way, and he cut her monologue instated of training her because simply there were just 4 days prior the opening, besides how these events wouldn't be the thing which could change him into that thankful kind person. UNLESS the movie tried to make us see him as a very coward man; therefore he didn't want to tell the wife about cutting her monologue out of the play as he himself suggested, and maybe that was the explanation why he didn't say anything at the end about the loss of his cloth, cell phone, role, money and dignity!
However, the script was so good at finding that intelligent environment to express its wonderful meaning. Look carefully at a conversion of an abashed person at the theater business and as a live performer in a difficult long role too, also the believing of the naive audience for the liar swindler star who lived on laying as a job (the writer and the wife believed the star in almost everything!). But the movie told us in its nice way another thing; that the pure person was the only one who could function the most as a liar. Because we discovered that the writer was weak so he had been cheated by the lying star too many times, his wife approved about whatever the star said or did, and the two couldn't lie well on (André), therefore he discovered them before the play's beginning, hence the only great lair from the start was (André). He didn't say the truth about hitting and hiding the star, he wrote a fake message to make the actor's disappearing right and perfect, nobody till the very end knew anything about the actual truth of that, and he was such a talented liar as an actor on the stage who saved the day and got all the success for those bunch of miserable amateurs. Hmmm, the successful liar is basically a real pure sincere man? Is it some sort of hidden meaning behind this small movie?!
Anyhow, it's a small comedy, with its share of problems, but while its attempts to make laughs, it makes you think as well.
