Leave your thoughts about Notfilm.
| Winnipeg Free PressAlison GillmorLipman blends his detailed historical account of Film's production with good gossip and gently wandering reflections on the big questions: perception, memory, mortality, time and the fundamental nature of cinema. |
| Boston GlobePeter KeoughThough not as polished as "Film," Lipman's "Notfilm" might be that rare instance where the critical commentary is of more interest than the work itself. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesAs a documentary, it could use a tighter edit and a more generous music score, but as a research project, it's impressive. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranFor all its gifted collaborators, "Film" was not a match made in heaven. But for moviegoers who care about film not just as a title, Notfilm can be unreservedly recommended. |
| Irish TimesTara BradyNotfilm offers Beckett academics a rare chance to hear the man speak and Lipman's investigation is commendably rigorous. |
| KDHX (St. Louis)Diane CarsonRunning two hours and 10 minutes, NOTFILM offers an intriguing exploration of Beckett's wrestling with the cinematic medium. |
| Tiny Mix TapesDerek SmithAs tough as it is to sit through at times, it's worth the effort to get to the beautiful nuggets of gold it occasionally mines. |
| Playback:stlSarah Boslaugh...Lipman has certainly collected a lot of interesting materials ... but viewing Notfilm feels a lot like sitting through an illustrated lecture by a droning professor with no sense of drama or humor. |
