"This film has so many excellent actors. The writing is strong and powerful. It is an excellent commentary on what some consider entertainment."
Errika Mason
"What a movie! Writing and acting especially are firing on all cylinders! Powerful commentary on capitalism and the destructive effect that chasing popularity above all else has on a person. Sidney Lumet’s best work since 12 ANGRY MEN."

"A mind blower and shockingly relevant. Despite only watching it once and viewing it recently I'd still venture to say it could be considered timeless. If I had to describe it for someone looking to watch, I'd say it's like a cross between They Live and Mike Leigh's, Naked. Those probably aren't the most accessible titles, but, then again, this isn't a film that'll intrigue your average movie-goer."
