Courtesy of TIFF The title character of “Misty Green,” Chris Rock’s explosively entertaining, savagely authentic drama about life in the Hollywood of today, is a television actress who had a moment — in fact, she was close to the top of the heap. But that was then and this is now. Misty, played by Rosalind Eleazar (“Slow Horses”) with doleful charisma and a casual fury, is in her late 30s. She’s a vivid and acclaimed actress and singer who was popular enough to have won the Emmy for best supporting actress for her cult thriller series “Red Eye.” She was on the cover of Cosmo. People still talk about her show in reverent tones.
