Title: Inaccurate information and dismissive attitude
Review: I can only speak for my own work, but in my movie, he not only got the plot and character names wrong - he missed the point. It was a historical fiction and he apparantly thought it was a true story. He didn't like it and blamed the pedestrian script, which (I must confess) I wrote. That's his perogative but there are no balancing references. The review could have mentioned the awards the movie won. (The pedestrian script by the way was nominated for a Cable Ace and was strongly reviewed in People, USA Today, the LATIMES, Variety and the Hollywood Reporter. I strongly suspect that Mr. Matlin didn't actually watch the movie. He just didn't like the subject matter. And so this makes him a great reference?
