Movie Reviews

ViewLondon - 10/10 by Matthew TurnerA small film with a big heart, Federcio Veiroj's tale of a beleaguered cinematheque and its life-shy film programmer, is a charming ode to the big screen.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) - 9/10 by John BeifussDedicated to cinephiles everywhere, this pocket-vest valentine of a film examines the comforts and limits of movie love.
Empire Magazine - 8/10 by David ParkinsonA beautiful representation of innocence and naivety.
Financial Times - 8/10 by Nigel AndrewsThe film is short, at 67 minutes, but teasing, mazy, memorable.
sbs.com.au - 8/10 by Simon FosterA Useful Life exists for filmgoers to feel good about being filmgoers; to provide validation for all those romantic notions movie lovers entertain as they sit in the dark for huge chunks of their (our) lives.
New York Times - 8/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisShot in color but produced in edible, Oreo-toned black and white, A Useful Life transitions seamlessly from indoors to outdoors, from nostalgia to hope.
CineVue - 6/10 by Joseph WalshAn intriguing film that raises some interesting issues about the future of exhibition in the digital, mainstream-centric age, whilst not completely working as a piece of dramatic cinema in its own right.
Observer (UK) - 6/10 by Philip FrenchThose who enjoy this elegiac film will enjoy it very much. I did.
Time Out - 6/10 by Dave Calhoun[A] short, sweet, slow-tempo Uruguayan film...
Sight and Sound - 4/10 by Mar Diestro-DópidoExhilaratingly idiosyncratic, Veiroj's film is ultimately an ode to the blind faith in the transformative power of film.
