From the start, this 2015 Project Greenlight is both educational and completely entertaining. This is a show that was more than worth reviving. Read full review

Though the premiere's ending has been mostly spoiled by the marketing for the new season, every moment watching the hopefuls fight for their dream and navigate the foreign waters of the movie industry--like when the winner demands to shoot the small-budget project on 35mm film--is completely absorbing.

Greenlight is better than it’s ever been, but its claim to the title of best filmmaking reality show has been usurped. That distinction now belongs to Starz’s The Chair. Read full review

Once I accepted Project Greenlight’s cynical choice, I have to admit the show became immediately transfixing: It’s always fascinating to watch people who dislike each other in stressful workplace situations. Read full review

The history of the concept is, at this point, far more interesting than the series itself. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The most compelling part of this season was watching the dysfunctional relationship unfold between "The Leisure Class" co-writer/director Jason Mann and Effie Brown, the film's producer. Despite the fact that Ms. Brown has produced numerous independent films including "Real Women Have Curves," "Dear White People," and "Rocket Science," in Jason's eyes she was nothing more than a barrier to him realizing his "artistic vision." However, what "Project Greenlight" failed to fully illuminate was that Effie Brown was placed in the unenviable position as the "No Lady" because neither Matt Damon, Ben Affleck or Marc Joubert, the film's other line producer were willing to stand up to him. This was truly a missed opportunity because Effie Brown's situation illuminates the challenges faced by women and people of color in a world dominated by white men. Ms. Brown is portrayed as the villain because she is unafraid to push Jason to make necessary decisions and to work with what is given to him. However, if she disregarded the film's budgetary and time constraints and let Jason get everything he wanted, she would not be doing her job as a producer. It's not until late in the series when HBO President Len Amato finally put his foot down during the film's post-production process that Jason Mann feels the pressure from anyone else to work within limited means.… Expand
