Robert W. Monk Flickering Myth Videoman is a beautiful story of fragility and support. The fact that Söderström has brought all this out in his debut feature is testament to how successful a pure filmic vision can be. Rated: 5/5 Feb 21, 2019 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia One of the most original films you'll see this year Feb 16, 2019 Full Review Nick Spacek Starburst While Videoman's appeal initially lies with its obsessive collector aspects and nerd appeal, the lasting value of Söderström's film rests with the tale of grown-up romance between two broken souls. Rated: 7/10 Feb 7, 2019 Full Review Anton Bitel SciFiNow all at once a wryly funny, bleakly melancholic film whose two principal characters are, in more ways than one, accidentally dating. Sep 5, 2018 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film A consciously downbeat film in which there can never be any guarantee of salvation, Videoman is a touching portrait of two people coping with the stresses life throws at them by finding joy in little things and in each other. Rated: 3/5 Aug 29, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

isla s This is a very quirky film, with a strong sense of 80s nostalgia. There's quite an emphasis on artificial colours and lighting. I was surprised to find the final scene somewhat touching. I suppose in a way I could relate to the whole aspect of harking back to better, happier times. I can't deny the collector in me felt somewhat jealous of his VHS collection. There are one or two amusing moments but I wouldn't call it an all-out comedy film as such. If you like quirky, indie world cinema, then I would recommend this film, yes. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting distraction. Some scenes paying tribute to the 80's horror genre were a nice touch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Fun-filled and brimming with emotion, romance and comedy that also touches on themes of addiction and loneliness. An unexpected film that showcases the giallo style. Must watch for lovers of the 80s. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
