“State of Affairs” feature film? (3,3,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

the big picture

'state of affairs' is the definition.
(both mean a broad overall view)

'feature film?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'film?' could be 'picture' (synonyms) and 'picture' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
