Leave your thoughts about Indie Game: The Movie.
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairThe most engrossing and flat-out entertaining documentary to come around since Murderball... |
| Toronto StarLinda BarnardYou may have never picked up a game console in your life, but there's universal access thanks to compelling stories in Indie Game: The Movie. |
| JoBlo's Movie EmporiumChris BumbrayNot only one of the best documentaries of the year, but one of the best films period. |
| The New York TimesNicolas RapoldAlong the way comes a bracing, honest confession about these interactive creations, voiced by one designer but no doubt applying to many more makers of all kinds: "I made it for myself." |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussCompelling from start to finish, the movie is a real eye-opener for the uninitiated as it cogently makes the argument that video games deserve to be taken as seriously as movies, novels, paintings and more esteemed artistic disciplines. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Guy DixonVideo-game developers: Geeks, nerds, socially adrift obsessives. Indie Game thankfully gets past such base introductions in a flash and graduates to far more engrossing levels – levels which open up into the real worlds of the best independent game developers working their craft. |
| Film School RejectsAllison LoringEven if you are "pursuing your dreams," at the end of the day, work is work. It may be more exciting and different than your average 9-5 cubicle life, it is still a job with deadlines, pressure, and stress. |
| Denver PostJohn WenzelLike punk rock or alternative comedy, it's a DIY pursuit that pits go-it-alone types against an industry machine, often breeding exciting but intensely idiosyncratic art in the process. |
| What CultureShaun MunroA passionate, deeply affecting celebration of a medium too often derided. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDuane ByrgeWell-crafted and intelligent, this film is an illumination of the agony of creation – the self-doubt, the obsession, the life sacrifices – that are the core, not merely the side-effects of those define themselves through "art." |
