INTERN

Cinemavixion Review

Michael Lange's "Intern" plunges viewers into the frenetic and often absurd world of high fashion through the eyes of Jocelyn Bennett, an ambitious young woman eager to make her mark. Landing an internship at the notoriously chaotic offices of Skirt magazine, Jocelyn finds herself navigating a landscape where fashion, gossip, and towering egos are the daily currency. The film expertly captures the whirlwind of ambition and the often-unseen pressures of the industry, as Jocelyn grapples with demanding editors, eccentric designers, and a potential scandal that threatens to unravel the publication. Dominique Swain delivers a compelling performance as Jocelyn, embodying both the wide-eyed determination and eventual disillusionment of a newcomer. She is supported by a cast that includes the legendary Joan Rivers and Kathy Griffin, adding layers of sharp wit and satirical commentary. While the film may have garnered a mixed reception, as indicated by its IMDb rating of 4.5/10 and a Rotten Tomatoes score of 38%, it offers a candid, if sometimes melodramatic, look at the sacrifices and absurdities inherent in the pursuit of success within the cutthroat fashion world. "Intern" is a sharp, often humorous, exploration of ambition, identity, and the price of admission to an industry that thrives on image and illusion.
