Delusion

Explores the competitive environment of a New York City drama school as one young woman is consumed by the pursuit of the lead role in Eugene O’Neill’s Anna Christie, or maybe it consumes her.

Directed by Jaclyn Bethany, Delusion leans on a strong ensemble — Maria Dizzia, Ryan Czerwonko, Mia Vallet — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 0.
