I've been trying to catch up with this movie for awhile, but it doesn't
seem to be out on DVD. Since you've seen it, how realistic a picture
does it paint of people in our profession?

Sorry -- I haven 't seen it. I read Tatum O'Neal's autobiography, A 
Paper Life, and then googled her to see what she's been up to in recent 
years. In that process, I came across references to the movie, which was 
very poorly received.
