– 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.”
– Nick Schager The Daily Beast
