Margee Great documentary about movies and movie theatres and the local to Los Angeles art houses Laemmle Theatres. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/19/22 Full Review Stephanie P Great documentary that looks into the struggles of owning a business during changing and challenging times. Spanning a couple of years, we get to see the family fight and survive during the worst times for a Movie Theater. It's impactful and discusses how important movie theaters are. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Stewart H I finally saw the film on Apple+ (sorry I missed it in a theater here in San Diego). As a former stock analyst who covered the entertainment and exhibition sector and appreciates the history of the business, I loved it. And as an avid filmgoer I also loved it. Not so much as the story of the determination to survive, as inspiring as that storyline is. But rather as a series of nested love stories: the love of the movies; the LA and broader cinema world's love for the Laemmle chain, and especially the various love stories across the generations of the Laemmle family. And then there's Alyse! How wonderfully precious she is!!!! Thank you to all involved for this delightful film! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/17/23 Full Review David F This documentary film about a family-owned art house theater circuit in California has great Hollywood history, great film exhibition history, and a really interesting story to tell. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/07/23 Full Review Megan Such incredible passion was put into the making of this film. It gives the inspiring history of the theater chain owned by the Laemmle family and I instantly cared about the theaters and the family that owned them for over 80 years. It focused on the struggles of Laemmle theaters as well as the struggles of all independent theaters. This film shows the passion of independent filmmakers and theaters and we are reminded of how important they are in our culture. Nothing beats the experience of seeing a movie in a theater and theaters need our support now more than ever. I was in such suspense for this entire movie, hoping that Laemmle theaters would pull through the challenges. I also loved seeing the history of movies and theaters as well as the passion everyone has for them. This film was so well done and I highly recommend it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/20/23 Full Review Mary Lou B We loved this touching story of Hollywood history...and the real people behind it! Sbarge has done an excellent job at getting to the heart of this story and paced it well so it moves you and moves along to keep you on the edge of your seat.
