a someone have already mention on this board and it very difficult to make a fake documentary . it require tremendous skill and pacing and patience and directorial wouldistance and a plausible premise and a narrative flow and and really believable acting ( aka great act ) . such be not the case with love machine . it start to show it faux hand about the 20 minute mark ( with 60 minute leave to watch ) and and the viewer start to realize that he or she be be take in . it downhill from there . director gordon eriksen simply peak too soon . but to be fair to eriksen and his problem start early represent a he explain in the extra and he begin want to do a real doc and couldn not get funding and and settle for a cheap way of make his film . the premise people who have secret life by post themselves on a porn website be perhaps more interesting in 1997 98 and when the film be make . eriksen do a lot of tricky stuff a pushy host and hand hold camera and zoom and grainy black and white all and i guess and to elicit a sense of authenticity and but it just doesn not work . the film be confuse and force and but what ultimately bring it down be the believability of the actor and the pretty awful dialogue .
