Sarah Cohen Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 16, 2011 Full Review Ronnie Scheib Variety Unfortunately, pic's concept doesn't stretch to 74 minutes. Aug 5, 2010 Full Review Nick Schager Village Voice Their sense of superiority toward the petty SUV drivers and rude midlife-crisisers who frequent the lot is matched by introspective considerations of traditional social contracts. Aug 3, 2010 Full Review Brian D. Johnson Maclean's Magazine The Parking Lot Movie is a slice of Zen heaven, a tiny perfect movie shot in a single location. Aug 26, 2019 Full Review Shelagh Rowan-Legg That Shelf The film is incredibly entertaining, managing to turn a seemingly mundane job into a source of philosophical thought and social experiment. May 18, 2018 Full Review Sara Maria Vizcarrondo Boxoffice Magazine An uplifting, high energy doc about an independent parking lot in Charlottesville, Virginia, this film has what so many films reach towards and miss: character. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 6, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The most accurate depiction of the relationship that boys have with their summer job. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A very interesting very independent doc that might not sound good at a glance. What happens when you have a group of highly educated intelligent grad students at a menial job with lots of down time. They spend there time inventing games and coming up with clever parking lot related jokes. I guess i related to these guys a lot. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member A seemingly boring niche subject transforms into a deep journey of self discovery and personal growth in The Parking Lot Movie, a doc that follows the lives of parking lot employees (most of whom are well educated), chronicling their frustrations, hopes, and pleasures (work or otherwise), as well as each individual's thoroughly entertaining and insightful musings on the importance/place of the job in their lives. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member a little more to it that it seems on the surface, but it's just that little more. I did love their comments about cars and the mindset we get into as drivers. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Somewhat anthropologically and philosophically interesting. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member fun little documentary about the most mundane of subjects, a parking lot in Virginia and the group of parking attendants who retain order within Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
