    Filmmaker Barry Hershey's impressionistic documentary about the casting process is the antidote to years of comic "audition montages," those guaranteed laugh-getting freak-show parades of no-talents mangling monologues and pulling nutty stunts in hopes of standing out from the crowd.
  2. A fascinating and surprisingly involving film.

    A nicely contemplative documentary about actors and their ambivalent relationship with that intimidating space.
