2005 - BUBBLE, a fascinating film on small time life amongst other things

 Steven Soderbergh who always walks a line between personal films and mainstream film making sets his sights on the story of three people who work in a doll factory in a small town in West Virginia. We observe the interaction between a woman who takes care of her aged father, a young man who clearly has a social anxiety disorder and a single mother who comes to work at the doll factor.  To give away anymore would be a crime.

 Soderbergh's production team literally found three people from the local area where the film was shot and had them improvise their dialog based on an outline prepared by the screenwriter Coleman Hough. None of the cast was a professional actor.  The result is a fascinating film experience.  This film is about audacious as a film can get to put it mildly

Running time,  73 minutes
