Rated: 3/4 May 23, 2018 Full Review Emily Maskell Flip Screen United We Fan is heartfelt in how it allows interviewees to be vulnerable on camera and share their personal experience of how their fandoms have changed their lives. Oct 7, 2019 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall Focussing on fans who fight back when their favourite shows are cancelled, this is a documentary about hope. Rated: 4/5 Apr 4, 2019 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid Sparaga maintains a positive vibe throughout, and takes enough time to really get to know some of these folks, their sweet little quirks, their regrets, etc. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 18, 2019 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed It's a great tribute to the power of the fan, and how their love helped creators and artists realize their visions to the very end. Feb 7, 2019 Full Review John Fink The Film Stage An energetic and interesting look at the culture of fandom from the grassroots efforts to save shows like Star Trek in the late 60s to modern activism taking place on Twitter and crowdfunding platforms that gave a second life to shows like Veronica Mars.
