What the Critics are Saying:
A nonfiction work of swirling whimsy and rabbit-hole intrigue that
eschews mere nostalgic appreciation in favor of a cockeyed hybrid
approach that amuses and bemuses in equal measure.
Brent Simon
AV Club
This caper-slash-personal essay is an admirable endeavor that honors,
above all, a filmmaker’s fixation on a medium that makes him whole.
Carlos Aguilar
Los Angeles Times
A rollicking tale of the inextricable bonds between life and art, and
the value of ensuring that the latter remains preserved for future
generations.
