	Author	Review
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"In 'Cinema Verite', 90 minutes might not do justice to the historical impact of 'An American Family'. But it makes you wish there were 90 more minutes to the story, which is saying something."	POS
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"'Cinema Verite' is a clever, beautifully made but somehow underwhelming re-enactment of the breakup of the Loud marriage, on camera and off."	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"'Cinema Verite' harbors some merit, and is worth seeing if only for Lane. That said, it's a disappointingly shallow treatment considering the wealth of potential within the premise."	NEU
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"An intriguing but often clumsy new movie about the making of the TV show."	NEU
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"'Cinema Verite' offers provocative insight into how far we've become lost in the reality-TV wilderness in the past 40 years."	POS
