| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Muse |
|---|
When screenwriter Steven Phillips (Brooks) is struck by serious writer's block, he enlists the help of a professional muse (Stone) to help him get going again. But the muse does more than inspire him, and her gift for giving ideas begins to lead the ordinary people around him to come up with some extraordinary conclusions.
--Michelle Yusuf, Resident Scholar
