A rather unusual type of mockumentary, as although it is a fake documentary, the film is based on true events. It has some media satire to it also, as well as a slight study of obsession, making it overall an interesting film, even if only fascinating in stops and starts. The characters come off as rather hard to like, especially the protagonist, and some overdone accents is no help either. In the same year as 'The Piano', no doubt Holly Hunter was better there, however even if she is annoying in this film, she arguably plays her character the way it was written quite well. In the end, the film tries to say too much, and it never transcends the made-for-cable feel, but even if not brilliant film-making, this is a movie with interesting elements.
