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 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. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/01/23 Full Review Sarah S I am an avid arthouse movie goer, and I have always gone to the Laemmle Theatres in Southern California to get my fix of indie, international and other specialty films that no other theatres will screen. This documentary is emotional for me to watch as I know how important the Laemmle family and their cinemas are to our community. It kept me on the edge of my seat, and I'm still praying for a full comeback, and it has prompted me to buy a "Laemmle Card", which as a senior gives me wonderful discounts and perks and allows me to see anything I want. This movie is essential watching for anyone who believes that film is an artform worth saving and supporting. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
