Method

Whitney Masters gives a tour de force performance, playing a young actress who has just completed a starring role in an independent film. Masters plays the character of Shelby Shaw, who has just finished her role in an upcoming horror movie, and has isolated herself in her apartment, trying to recover from the grueling method acting techniques she used in the film to bring her character to life. After a visit from her agent, Shelby's mental state crumbles, and she seems to not be able to control the dark thoughts swirling around in her mind. Masters gives a subtle performance, and is able to convey the inner workings of her character, without overacting or going for huge moments, grounding the film in a frightening neo-realism. Ultimately, we as an audience root for Shelby to overcome her demons, but the horror is that she may not want to.
