What to Know

Critics Consensus

Rosalind Eleazar is resoundingly ready for her closeup in Misty Green, a satire of stardom that's as fleeting as Hollywood fame but elevated by its marvelous central performance.

Misty is a blazing ball of contradictions that only a galvanizing performance can make us believe in... Eleazar provides just that, filling in the underdeveloped aspects of Rock's conception of Misty with living, breathing, passionate life. Go to Full Review

4/5
The comedian turned writer-director Chris Rock has finally struck gold with this rueful drama about staying afloat and relevant in the pitiless shark tank of Tinseltown. Go to Full Review
Richard Whittaker Austin Chronicle Oct 16, 2026
2/5
Eleazar has such a firm grasp of who Misty is, of both how she sins and is sinned against, that Rock’s failures can almost be overlooked. Go to Full Review

Even if the thematic focus of Misty Green, the movie, wavers, Eleazar ensures that Misty Green, the character, is unforgettable. Go to Full Review

Felicia A Oct 22, 2026 Good story, much better than I anticipated. See more
KK Oct 21, 2026 Loved this movie. The whole premise of it was great! Acting and casting is right on the money. A lot of REAL TRUTHS shown throughout, regardless if it’s bleak. Give it to us raw. Honestly I felt all the emotions, the highs and the lows. Truly enjoyed this gem. What a project by Chris Rock! See more
Micheal Oct 18, 2026 Phenomenal and realistic, depiction of LA. Completely pulled the curtains back. See more
Brian Bitting Oct 17, 2026 Great performances, plot, subplot, climax...everything! Acting on a God-tier level! See more
jesse v Oct 16, 2026 it's just a story about an angst/feisty woman going through the motions of an audition for a movie (which boils down to relationships equals network connections). the production of the movie l, such as cinematography, is great, but it just needed better likeable characters. also, why doesn't misty have a cell phone, where she could have read the emails, with cell service? also I've never heard the term "biracial" replacing "mixed" in today's lexicon. everyone sucks here, even the showbiz people. also why did misty and the guy left UNSCATHED from the car crash?? and why are there racial issues spoken by the car radio sprinkled throughout?? scene pacing for the most part is jumpy. Also what the HECK HAPPENED to the character Jay's personality throughout the movie??? also why was everyone dancing on the plane and why was there a club scene at dubai with dr. Dre? But hey, at least we got to see more angles of Los Angeles this year. also mentioning mental illness health in this film plus homelessness to the point of doing a taboo ad is very weird. See more
