The directors of Pressing On also appreciate the beauty of the moving parts as these majestic apparatuses...bring signs, posters, and other printed matter to life.

If you'd have told me that I'd be advocating for a feature documentary on the subject of letterpress, I'd have likely laughed.

Rated: 3.5/4.0

Cinema Crazed

As an 80s kid, the film has a feel at times that's like a grown-up version of the "how stuff works" segments on television shows like Passe-Partout or Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. It feels like home, yet the viewer ends up learning something ...

Rated: 4/5
