What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorFilm has a story tonight about a documentary called You Can See Everything, and it says a surprise actor shows up in it and may leave you thinking way more than twice about all you've watched.

  2. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI love it. I haven't seen it, but I love it, and I would watch that actor in anything.

  3. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA documentary with an actor in it. That's a lot of acting for something called a documentary.

  4. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorReality, with a plot twist.

  5. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMeanwhile IndieWire says the major fall festivals are done, so the Oscar race goes regional, starting with the just-opened Middleburg Film Festival.

  6. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMiddleburg! Top contenders and the pundits who follow them. I love every film there, sight unseen.

  7. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the pundits chase the contenders town to town, like a tour with worse merch.

  8. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMy sequel pitch: the secret actor gets a documentary about hiding.

  9. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI'd see it twice. Brock, is the forecast hiding anything?
