"First Person The format of the First Person series is what Errol Morris does best: finding unusual people, sitting them down in front of a camera, positioning the camera in the right way, and getting them to talk about what makes them so interesting. And then finding the right B-roll footage to splice in at the right times. Morris's invention of a camera device which he calls the "Interrotron" allows the subjects to see Morris's face as they look into the camera to make it feel more personal.

This is certainly an interesting idea for a movie, but the picture never bothers to consider most of the implications of this. Instead it spends much of its time on a great many subplots, some of which are set up and never pay off. The two sisters are Rose (Amy Adams) and Norah (Emily Blundt). Rose works as a maid and has a young son named Oscar (Jason Spevack) and spends a great deal of time looking forward to her weekly "

"Is it too “gory,” or did the filmmakers want too much money? This Variety story offers both as potential reasons for why the Amy Adams/Emily Blunt Sundance comedy Sunshine Cleaning, which was pegged before and during the festival as an almost sure-thing candidate for a sale, is only now closing a distribution deal with Overture Films. In other sales news, Film Movement has picked up Argentinean teen hermaphrodite drama XXY. It won two awards at Cannes last year, and it’ll screen next month at New Directors/New Films here in New York. No Country For Old Men will “almost double” its screen count this weekend, in order to best take advantage o "
