Reviews
Don't listen to the negative reviews
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
This is a must-see documentary for the documentary film student! Great coverage about how TV reflected the American working class, but at the same time defined how the working class is viewed by the American public. It probably also explains how TV served as a balm for the working class audience that saw themselves on screen and served as a how-to primer to become part of the American Middle Class (AKA American Dream).
