Incisive look at how we use Storytelling as a reflection of reality, and how the moment it turns from life to art it becomes something different, something to be picked apart and criticised and judged, or; how a certain look can turn tragedy into comedy, how it presents a veneer so that we can laugh at someones dreams and passions without guilt (Mike Shcanks presence here a clear judgement on American Movie and films of that ilk)

Definitely one of Solondz' best. A powerful film let down by an uneven second half, but the first thirty minutes are amazing.
