This review is from: El Nominado (DVD)

Though this was in Spanish, it might as well have been speaking of reality shows in the US. Here, contestants are put through things just to keep viewers watching. Contestants have their own exhibitionist and self esteem issues. Some contestants are obviously chosen to play stereotypical roles based upon their identities, etc. This movie asks, "When are these shows going over the line?"

I believe this work was made in Chile. I am very disappointed about the homogeneity of the cast. I heard that Chile is racially diverse having indigenous people, Spaniards, and many of mixed heritage. In this film, all the characters looked 100% European. No Chileans with any drop of indigenous ancestry were given roles. I find this very problematic. Critics have said that Latin American TV and film often act like people of African or Amerindian ancestry don't exist and this film is glaring proof of that. For shame!
