Preview: Herb and Dorothy (2009)

Synopsis:

The story of two atypical art connoisseurs whose strange fascination with art has led to a household full of works.

• Poster: C-

Review:

I like the simplicity, but the verbosity is a little overbearing and the starkness of the white is a bit oppressive.

• Trailer: C-

Review:

The trailer is a bit too lifeless. These are supposedly two very eccentric and nontraditional art collectors, but the preview drags on at length without really telling us much about why we should even care about the film or its subjects. That's a hindrance to selling a documentary.

Oscar Prospects:

Perhaps the actual content of the documentary will prove it to be a bigger contender than what we get from the trailer.

Release Date:

• June 5, 2009
