Diane Lane, Tim Robbins
Fine HBO film which re-staged An American Family, the PBS show from 1973. The show was a sensation at the time and this film hied close to the actual experience all the participants went through during the life of the project.
DL was excellent...as good a performance as I’ve seen her give. Robbins also did well...James Gandolfini was solid as the instigator/producer.
Millions watched as a couple divorced in real life. It changed the TV landscape...unfortunately not for the better. The show’s ugly stepchildren, so-called reality TV, now saturates the medium with repulsive bozos striving for attention, any attention. Still, this film, re-creating the phenomenon was top-notch.
