| Hammer to NailChristopher Llewellyn ReedThe ... movie ... is an aesthetically innovative and moving spectacle that avoids the confusion of hodgepodge thanks to the Bogarins' clear vision. |
| Film ThreatLorry KiktaThe Bogarin siblings use many methods of storytelling to tell us the tale of their family, creating an atmosphere in 306 Hollywood that is Errol Morris-meets-Wes Andersen. It’s a beautiful documentary filled with magical realism and most importantly the heart and soul of their grandmother. |
| New York TimesBen KenigsbergA family portrait that plunges into what will strike many viewers as T.M.I. territory, the documentary 306 Hollywood makes for morbid, at times insufferable viewing. But its solipsism is part of its message. |
| The Pop BreakMarisa CarpicoThe tribute the Bogarín siblings have made for their grandmother may not be recognizable to every audience member, but grief by its very nature is personal.... |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordIf Wes Anderson made a documentary about a deceased loved one, it might look a lot like this one. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferGenuinely poignant, illuminating and well-edited with a very warm, charismatic and candid documentary subject. |
| Hollywood ReporterDan Fienberg306 Hollywood is a personal essay! It's a tone poem! It's a biographical collage! It's an embrace of the banal kitschy! It's magic realism! It's such a little story you may wonder why it's being told at all, except that it's a story likely to touch anybody who has ever lost a loved one, which makes it a very big story. |
| Film InquiryLee JuttonThe colorful, stylistic flourishes of 306 Hollywood makes it stand out as something truly unique - an ordinary woman's life rendered into an extraordinary film. |
| The VergeTasha RobinsonThe siblings address their family through a Wes Anderson lens, with a tone so playful and visually poetic that it drops into surrealism. It feels like a fresh new approach to an old genre — a willingness to not just embrace the subjectivity of family documentaries, but to charge into it full-bore. |
| Slant MagazineA.J. SerranoElan and Jonathan Bogarín's film blends various tones and visual styles with confidence and infectious exuberance. |
