Cinema Verite

CINEMA VERITE (2011) - May 8, 2011
A mediocre film about a family in the '70s who subject themselves to being the stars of the first ever reality show, and how this affects them.  Generally well acted (particularly James Gandolfini as the creator of the show) the film was otherwise questionably put together (the direction was bland and the overly processed visuals gives everyone the skin tone of a pumpkin).  Despite a short running time of 90 minutes, the movie drags quite a bit, and ultimately just isn't all that compelling.  **
