Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter With its astute capsule biography of DeMille and firsthand accounts from people who worked with him, the film pays tribute to one of Hollywood's most innovative and commercially successful founding fathers. Jun 14, 2017 Full Review Daniel Barnes Dare Daniel Brosnan intercuts his own journey through local bureaucracy and unreliable corporate sponsorship with a somewhat dubious biography of DeMille, but despite some chintzy production values, it's still an absorbing story of Hollywood archaeology. Rated: 3/5 Oct 29, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The Lost City of DeMille is a pure delight for cinema historians. This tiny, low budget documentary was thirty plus years in the making and yet captures more than 90 years of film history in its remarkably fun 87 minutes. The history captured in The Lost City of DeMille is that of the director who defined the early days of film and was both progenitor and savior of the art form in its infancy and pubescence. For that alone, The Lost City of DeMille deserves our praise. https://geeks.media/review-the-lost-city-of-demille?_ga=2.887153.1126457623.1513947710-953607229.1513947710 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
