Pam Grady San Francisco Chronicle It becomes apparent how much film and television history would have simply disappeared without the passion of the collectors to which this documentary pays homage. Jun 3, 2024 Full Review Theodoor Steen ScreenAnarchy Makes a grand case for the legacy of collectors, showing his subjects in a complex, nuanced and truly human way. ... By actively acknowledging the complexities of film collecting, and those who collect, Flynn lands on something truly profound. Dec 30, 2024 Full Review Bill Arceneaux Moviegoing with Bill There’s plenty of thoughtfulness and more than enough life given to the movie through the subjects found and the collections offered. Rated: 3.5/5 May 31, 2024 Full Review Peg Aloi Arts Fuse As thrilling as the stories of rescued footage are, the tales of what has been lost or willfully destroyed are harrowing. May 9, 2024 Full Review Laura Clifford Reeling Reviews made me nostalgic for the early days of Reeling when one of our crew members, a collector himself, would screen film prints in his dusty old basement, friends crammed together on old kitchen chairs amidst rusty tools and cans of paint.
