Creative Nonfiction (2009). 1h

“I loved Creative Nonfiction, this is the type of film people should look at in terms of production cost. When youu0026#39;re starting out in film you have to do a lot with nothing, and that is exactly what Lena does. You can see the raw talent that Lena possesses with her acting and dialogue. I think what makes the film so effective is that, as the viewer, I felt like I was prying into Ellau0026#39;s life. Itu0026#39;s almost like going through someoneu0026#39;s phone and digging through all their inner-most personal conversations and pictures. The whole movie was like a diary, and I think people are interested in that. Whenever we overhear a conversation about girls talking about their sex lives, you sort of want to linger around and overhear, because itu0026#39;s interesting. Creative Nonfiction is just that, itu0026#39;s a personal diary of a college womanu0026#39;s life.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe objective, hand-held camera-work works great, still photography would have made the scenes monotonous, and it would have played out within the first 15 minutes. Itu0026#39;s an impressive debut by the very young Lena Dunham.”
