What does it mean, to go to the movies? Why have people been going for over one hundred years? I set out to celebrate movie theaters and their manifold magic. So I walked in the footsteps of young Paul Dédalus, as if in a filmgoer's coming-of-age story. Memories, fiction, discoveries come together in an irrepressible torrent of pictures.

May 27, 2024 Full Review Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter Filmlovers! is no theory-laden yakfest; it’s a personal walk through the charged territory of a life’s movie-loving story. May 24, 2024 Full Review Betsy Sherman Arts Fuse It’s a bit of a swervy ride, but the subject matter is worthy.
