Allen Almachar The MacGuffin What it does do - in terms of using the slippers to talk about movie history, preservation, and the culture of fandom - is entertaining and insightful. Rated: B Jul 13, 2020 Full Review Derek Deskins Next Projection What is impressive about Morgan White's direction is how the many stories are gently folded in, winning the viewer over bit by bit. Rated: 7/10 Oct 16, 2018 Full Review Jason Gorber POV Magazine Despite the stylistic and formal misfires, The Slippers' subject does remain compelling for any lover of film, and one does get a glimpse into a niche group for whom the The Wizard of Oz holds a powerful meaning.
