One of the most depressing and disgusting movies I've ever watched . Destroying lives and killing for the sake of ratings. Lies, manipulations, deceipt and fake conflict that lead to real life consequences that Hollywood producers and executives thrive on. Trust no one.
There is no such thing as reality TV.

Never ever trust "reality shows"
Feels amateurish or maybe just improvised.
This film is about a new TV program that follows a family and films everything they do. However they are picked at random and do not know they are being filmed. They are pretty much the perfect family and so boring for TV so they are manipulated to liven things up.
I am not sure if this was amateurish or if some of the script was improvised and it was meant to come over that way. It is interesting and terrifying at the same time about how people can be manipulated. It really does sum up current "reality" TV even if the ending is a bit over the top.
On the one hand it is an interesting film about good people being manipulated for someone else's benefit. On the other it is a scary look at just what TV directors and producers can achieve. Regardless it is a good watch and still relevant nowadays.
I can't believe I watched the whole thing.
This was one of the most depressing movies I've seen in a long time on so many different levels. First and foremost is that there are actually people in the "Arts and Entertainment" industry that would do the things that were done to the Warwick family.
Second, the degeneration of what was a relatively happy family into one that literally cannibalized itself. I honestly don't know if I felt worse watching good people go bad as a result of hidden issues or if the outside forces manipulating the events that led to the destruction of the Warwick family were without any moral or ethical boundaries. Frankly it made me ill.
This movie may be a prelude to what the "news" media is devolving into.
