Has Laura Dern met any of the real life principals such as Katherine Harris either before or after the she shot the movie.
If so, what was that like?
Her portrayal of her (at least how she has appeared on TV) was shiveringly close. She REALLY looks like her!
is it true harris said " how can Laura Dern play me she's a blond?"
With all due respect, I switched off the radio when the confersation turned to this movie, and have no plans to watch on Sunday night. The last seven-plus years have been enough of a nightmare without having to relive the crime that brought them about. If ever there is a true documentary, I might watch that ... but I am not enough of a masochist to watch a dramatization.
This movie is written in a NON-partisan manner? What about the revelations that Greg Palast later uncovered in Best Democracy Money Can Buy? Did the screenwriters leave all of that out?
