In a world where reality and entertainment are continuously colliding, Academy Award winning documentary filmmaker Bill Guttentag's feature debut Live! follows ABN network president Katy Courbet and up-and-coming documentary filmmaker Rex as inspiration strikes to create the most daring reality program ever. The show is Russian Roulette, network style, with contestants competing for five million dollars on-air, complete with loaded guns. As seen through the lens of a documentary film crew, Live! examines the competitive and often gut-wrenching world of television production, where everyone from the crew to the contestants to the network brass becomes engulfed in a ratings battle to the top-a battle where questions of morality, ethics and sheer will lead to a darkly humorous and unforgettable outcome.
Leave your thoughts about Live!.
| TeletextVictor OlliverMendes' Courbet is all the c-words: clever, cunning, a control freak, cynical; ultimately conformist. Here's another c-word - Cowell, Simon Cowell. Like him, she knows what the public want - before even they know it. |
| London Evening StandardDerek MalcolmThere is a big problem in believing any of it, but a certain amount of fun watching television's more ghastly denizens wonder whether murder will improve the ratings. It does. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineThis straight-faced satire of American television raises important issues and is engaging enough to keep us gripped. But the astute commentary peaks too early, then gives way to a finale that's messy in more ways than one. |
| Empire MagazineHelen O'HaraSmart, incisive, but not as sharp as it should have been. With a subject this ripe for evisceration, it's a pity to let it off with flesh wounds. |
| Times (UK)James ChristopherBill Guttentag's film is one of those shrill and cheery conspiracies on the wilder side of probability. But the black comedy has an infectious pace, and screwy logic. |
| Film4Jon FortgangA sporadically entertaining but uneven media satire that never quite delivers on its clear sense of moral outrage. |
| House Next DoorKeith UhlichSo spake that prescient philosopher Julie Brown: "Just be vague, there's nothing to it." |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerWatchable satire with some nice touches and a strong performance by Eva Mendes, but it's neither as funny, as clever or as original as it thinks it is. |
| Time OutTom HuddlestoneIt's hard to distinguish between the cynical indifference of the characters and the arrogant nihilism of the film itself. |
| Total FilmJane CrowtherThis crass, inauthentic mock-doc exposing the evils of reality shows and the venality of TV honchos manages both to bore and insult simultaneously. |
