Movie Reviews

New Yorker - 10/10 by Richard BrodyBujalski ... brings the designs and fashions of the time-and, even better, its moods and ideas-cleverly and joyfully back to life.
The Playlist - 10/10 by Gabe ToroThe endlessly surprising, often riotously funny Computer Chess basks in the details of a group of men who, at a key point in history, are asking themselves not only if they can accomplish something, but why, and what it means to their current generation.
Slant Magazine - 10/10 by Jesse CataldoA movie which sits at the nexus between spoken and written language, the latter mostly of the programming variety.
Irish Times - 10/10 by Tara BradyThink vintage found footage meets wilfully anachronistic dot matrix art. And then think way, way outside the box.
Little White Lies - 10/10 by David JenkinsThe spirit of Altman returns! A film to study, pick apart, discuss and debate.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) - 10/10 by John BeifussEntirely original and unprecedented -- a formalist coup that is at once visionary and retro, thoughtful and hilarious.
Film Freak Central - 10/10 by Walter ChawSneakily, the best science-fiction film of the summer.
The Skinny - 10/10 by Jamie DunnThis is a philosophical comedy as dense and complex as any programming algorithm.
Salon.com - 9/10 by Andrew O'HehirThere’s even a shadowy hanger-on (played by novelist and journalist Jim Lewis) who may be a drug dealer or a CIA-NSA-type spook or both. That’s just one of the many ways that this profound, peculiar work of genius, this half-comic portrait of the present in embryo within the past, reverberates with hidden meanings and a questing intelligence.
The Dissolve - 9/10 by Scott TobiasComputer Chess may seem like a novelty item, but it’s that and more, accumulating insight and substance without ever losing the fun of being a lark.
