What is the true impact of the omnipresent camera upon those circumstances? How does it change the existence of those living beneath a publicly broadcast microscope? This provocative drama takes the notion of the intruding camera a step further to follow the machinations of a determined documentary filmmaker who chooses an ordinary man on the street for the subject of her latest probing film. In following her attempts to chronicle even the most intimate details of his mundane existence the film offers a double character portrait, not only of the victim himself, but also of the disaffected (and but for her hands, unseen) filmmaker who is unable to relate to life without the barrier of a hand-held camera to protect her. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Vincent D'onofrio asks: "Why would anyone see a film about me ?" It's a good question I couldn't answer.

Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
Esta história de amor narrada de forma inovadora (e com atuação brilhante de D'Onofrio) faz uma crítica ácida sobre o poder destrutivo que a mídia exerce sobre as pessoas.
