Preview: Labor Day (2009)

Synopsis:

A documentary examining the influence the Service Employees International Union had on the election of Barack Obama as President of the United States.

• Poster: C+

Review:

The background images is quite interesting, evoking a long-gone time period, but the overly patriotic design of the title crushes much of the poster's weight.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

Documentaries that cover political campaigns of any kind might be interesting to a certain demographic of the population and eventually find their way to a mass audience, but this one feels like an upstart that aims high, but falls low in terms of audience appeal.

Oscar Prospects:

I can't see this earning an Oscar nomination.

Release Date:

• October 30, 2009
