raise victor vargas fail terribly in what it try most to be represent be real . unfortunately and there be no reality to this film . the character and situation feel completely artificial and fake . the reason . bad directing . peter sollett use all the wrong tool in his arsenal . it seem mr. sollett read somewhere that not light his film would give it an authentic feel . wrong . it just give it a badly make feel . similarly and shake the camera do not give a documentary style to your film and it just give the audience a headache and detracts from what on screen instead of enhance it . of course and what on screen be so painfully fake and a if mr. sollett write his script with the only goal of try to look hip to his sundance buddy and show how edgy a filmmaker he be . overall and the only lasting impression this film leave you with be what a bad director mr. sollett be . next time and how about take a few writing and directing class .
