All Lies

Although No Lies embodies the quality of refelexivity and touches on real issues, it falls short of the title "documentary". No Lies is documentary style in appearance and structure; however, the use of theatrical actors and a script seperate it too far from any form of documentary. No Lies could be considered a reflexive fiction, or even a reflexive pseudocumentary. If the actors were replaced with social actors and the script traded for an interview (even guided), the film would be a perfect documentary.
