The most interesting word in the title of the film vis-a-vis what it presents to you has to be ‘passion’. The protagonist of our narrative is called Pluto, but it is truly his passion, and the many forms it takes, that become its real driving force. 

A long-take paints Pluto’s chaotic, exploitative world of a film set for us. The story does not shy away from exploring all aspects of the absurd with its larger-than-life approach to storytelling, exaggerating and mocking in equal measure, while perfectly adhering to the confines of its universe. 

In the process, the film also exposes the several layers of dysfunctionality and toxicity that professionals undergo within the media space. However, at no point is this critique burdened with maudlin righteousness or overly sentimental attitudes of any kind. The mingling of humor, parodic and irreverent, with its core message, presents an impactful portrayal of the film's ideas. 

The screenplay and performances together offer a seamless overlap which further allows the film to successfully convey all of this while both engaging and entertaining the viewer. The bizarre realm portrayed before us continues to unravel, devolving into absolute mayhem with every passing moment, but would it truly lead to the realization and fulfillment of Pluto’s passion? The question remains at the heart of the narrative and offers an answer at the end in a shocking manner, alongside being infused with humor that is consistent with the tonality of the rest of the film.
