The main twist is that it's a put on — or is it? — and pretty amusing if you stay with it through the additional twists toward the end. The film was made by Tara Subkoff, the fashion designer who appeared with Sevigny in "The Last Days of Disco." It was posted by MOCA TV, hat tip to Curbed LA: "Would you like to watch Chloe Sevigny bitch parodically about Los Angeles and also pee while wearing a romper? MOCA's got you..."

This being Los Angeles, there will be people moaning on Facebook, Twitter and blogs about the LA stereotypes contained in "Magic Hour," even though it's basically a send-up — and that's one of the most true LA stereotypes of all.
