What critics compared The Kid Stays in the Picture to
Finally, the best new film this weekend comes from famed documentarian Brett Morgen ("The Kid Stays in the Picture," among many others), who takes more than 100 hours of remarkable footage and turns it into the fascinating effort called " Jane ."
Director Nanette Burstein is best known for her documentary features (such as "The Kid Stays in the Picture" and "American Teen"), which were well-made.
"Going the Distance" was directed by documentary veteran Nanette Burstein ("The Kid Stays in the Picture").
Director Nanette Burstein, whose previous work was mainly in the documentary field ("American Teen," "The Kid Stays in the Picture"), gives us a romantic comedy where the characters falling in love is unambiguous.
In director Nanette Burstein's first fictional film (she made the highly entertaining documentaries "American Teen" and "The Kid Stays in the Picture" ), Barrymore and on-again/off-again boyfriend Justin Long play Erin and Garrett, a fairly ordinary, fairly likable young pair who meet one beery evening in a New York pub.
Scripted by a newcomer with the unlikely name of Geoff LaTulippe and directed by Nanette Burstein ("The Kid Stays in the Picture," "American Teen"), a veteran documentarian making her fiction film debut, "Going the Distance" concerns the complications and frustrations of long-distance romance.
But these two are very good together, and the film, directed by Nanette Burstein of the frankly terrific, nicely snarky 2002 documentary “The Kid Stays in the Picture,” is smart (when it isn’t being really dumb and crass).
