3/5

Among Ambrose’s gifts are an ebullient and energetic feel for the lightness of LA, for the Robert Altman-style people-collage of exasperated women and child-like men.

2.5/4.0

While there's a framework for Mondo Hollywoodland, there's relatively little indicating structure or meaning.

2/5

Even those who like experimental films might find this one a little much. What is completely missing is a plot so even the interesting bits lose their lustre.

Unapologetically experimental, this is not a movie that will appeal to everyone. It can be a little too out there at times, but it is also entertaining and funny.

3/5

Ambros's Mondo Hollywoodland is less interested in death and more about how the mainstream, counter-culture, and the arts swirl together to create our deformed reality.

A spirit of experimentation gives this tale of jaded Hollywood a fresh edge.

Nonsensical and pointless if not on drugs. The only reason I didn't score it lower was because it's about somewhat alternative lifestyles and unfamiliar characters (though I'm not sure if it is satire or sabotage) and moves quickly enough to keep me from being able to decisively say I hate it for existing.
