A movie about the struggles involved in the creative process, both technical and personal, and the problems artists face when expected to deliver something personal and profound with intense public scrutiny, on a constricted schedule, while simultaneously having to deal with their own personal relationships.
I actually didn't write this myself, this is a description from the Wikipedia article about Fellini's prominent movie 8½.
This film takes the public pressure on the write a huge leap further - he's actually not only pressed by some vague 'public' but literally controlled - by you, the viewer. Or maybe not? The film shows how hard it is to tell, and the process of going back and forth in time trying to remake the plot and improve the result is similar to what is happening in the creators mind.
So far so good, a very interesting idea. And of course it would be unfair to compare almost any movie to the rich ingenius and amazing experience of watching Fellini's 8½. So just as a film I watched without such expectations our of curiosity, beside the idea it is a minimalist, dark, moderately interesting film, with a pessimistic feeling that matches the series. Not a highly entertaining experience, but interesting as a pioneering experiment.
