Fluffer, The

A FILM BY Richard Glatzer

Moves nimbly from behind-the-scenes comedy to melodrama, with occasional stumbles into pop psychology and film-noir violence.
-A.O. Scott, NEW YORK TIMES

Synopsis

Self-effacing, boyish Sean moves to LA to pursue a career in movies but finds it tougher than he imagined. He stumbles onto porn star Johnny Rebel--a handsome, muscled dream of men and women alike--who awakens Sean's deep obsession. But Johnny's straight, or so it seems. Although he works in gay porn, Johnny lives with a stripper girlfriend named Babylon who's willful, charismatic and hard as nails. Sean finds a way to get closer to his idol than even he dreamed possible. But Sean and Babylon's one-sided, "fluffing" relationships with Johnny are precariously balanced, and can only go so far.
