 Some film critics have accused the director, Nanette Burstein, of giving the documentary a sensationalized feel, and others have gone so far as to claim that the film feels scripted and the very presence of the cameras take the reality out of the situation.One continual issue with the movie, was that Tusing was continually forced to "get a girlfriend" in order not to be removed from the film.Other issues include scripted arguments, and cue cards.
