Review of Quiz Show (1994) by Adam K — 08 Nov 2007
A critically acclaimed movie that garnered some attention when it came out, but kind of fell off the map after going to video - which is our lost. This is a great movie set in the birth of TV, and therefore the birth of media corruption.
The dialogue is crisp, the acting superb, despite Rob Morrow's attempt at a 'Brookline' (?) accent. It has elements of racism, class structure, and the personal need for attention, all pulled together expertly by Robert Redford.
Given the seemingly boring subject matter, the movie moves incredibly fast. This movie has an all-star cast, and it's the only movie where Ralph Fiennes isn't hopelessly in love with some dying woman.
Reason enough to watch it.
