Brian Lowry Los Angeles Times More cynical observers see the entire experiment as a case of Hollywood striking back, with Jones, and now Potelle and Rankin, having essentially been set up to fail. Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Scott Heller Boston Globe [Chris Moore and Jeff Balis'] Goofus and Gallant bully-and-prey dynamic is more compelling than anything that ended up on screen in "Stolen Summer." Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Virginia Heffernan Slate With a vague script, shiftless personnel, and a red-faced manager, Project Greenlight now has some of the bumbling charm of BBC's The Office. It's a workplace drama with considerable suspense. Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette For Hollywood insiders used to vocal control freaks, their winners turn out to be too laid back, too sedate. No matter, it's still a source of tension and that makes for an enjoyable voyage into a movie-making maelstrom. Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Frances Katz PopMatters You just want to shake some sense into these guys... They press on and are, by turns, stupid, silly, arrogant, conciliatory, and astonishingly clever. Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Chris Hicks Deseret News (Salt Lake City) As with the first season, this show is aimed primarily at film buffs -- and it is fascinating to see the filmmaking process in action, along with a lot of behind-the-scenes battles.
