      Audience Member Movies give you a chance to experience other peoples perspectives. Roger Ebert called them empathy machines. I was constantly wondering about more than what is reveled about Giuseppe's life style. My somewhat negative impression at first started to turn around towards the end. I guess i'll have to see Garbanzo Gas before I determine if it is eccentric art or crazy people killing time. The movie reminds me of American Movie in many ways. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Giuseppe Makes A Movie is a poetic look inside the mind of an absolute genius in front of and behind the camera. To say Giuseppe Andrews is a master of the $1,000 dollar movie shot in two days would be a disservice to Mr. Andrews and the film community as a whole. An artist that doesn't subscribe to the concept of "No," Andrews is a shining beacon of hope in a vast crowd of self-entitled "would-be-filmmakers" bogging down the trenches of true independent spirit. Director Adam Rifkin managed an impossible feat by capturing Giuseppe's insane process yet managing to find the humanity amid the madness. This is an utterly captivating and heartfelt documentary. Giuseppe Makes A Movie is simply 82 minutes of lightning in a bottle. A must watch for any true cinephile. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Being a fan of Giuseppe Andrews, I bought this movie on Vudu. It's a fantastic look at the process of one of cinema's true visionaries. Giuseppe's voice is wonderfully captured by Adam Rifkin in this critically acclaimed documentary that takes us inside the process of a true genius. A must see for fans of true art.

      Ben Sachs Chicago Reader The movie is designed as a nonfiction gross-out comedy, and on those narrow terms it delivers. Feb 2, 2015 Full Review Nicolas Rapold New York Times Mr. Rifkin's own style is rough and ready, and efficient. We quickly grasp Mr. Andrews's casual appeal and how his films resemble community theater productions. Jan 14, 2015 Full Review Carson Lund Slant Magazine Adam Rifkin's documentary convincingly portrays the sense of community fostered by Giuseppe Andrews's crazed passion. Rated: 3/4 Jan 12, 2015 Full Review Michael J. Casey Michael J. Cinema The simple act of watching it is rewarding. Rated: 4/5 Nov 3, 2021 Full Review Leah Sydney Showbiz 411 Adam Rifkin's poignant and hilarious documentary "Giuseppe Makes A Movie" follows the quixotic Guiseppe Andrews and his merry band of misfits as they try to make art with no resources but plenty of heart. Do not miss! Aug 13, 2020 Full Review Simon Foster Screen-Space Rifkin clearly understands the boundless drive and feverish creativity that fuels Andrews. Giuseppe Makes a Movie celebrates the redemptive essence and raw power of barebones filmmaking and the meaning it can bring to damaged lives. Feb 2, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews
