Not sure why this was made. Linklater and Benning are likeable fellows, and some of their discussions about film and life are kind of interesting, but we are none the wiser at the film's end. If anything, Linklater's presence is distracting and Benning should have been the sole focus as his admittedly frustrating (pretentious?) approach to cinema requires more analysis and perhaps greater justification given the demands it places on viewers.
