Leave your thoughts about Watching TV with the Red Chinese.
| Boxoffice MagazineSara Maria VizcarrondoSo Watching TV is less a story loosely bound by cause and effect than a kind of scrapbook of memories, all of which convey the concerns of being super smart and mostly confused in a culturally mixed Manhattan, circa 1980. The affection is sweet and precise, if even the terms we use to define them aren't. |
| VarietyRonnie ScheibWatching TV feels fundamentally old-fashioned in its storytelling. Thesping is solid, particularly by O'Nan, Nam and Jacobs. But the conversations feel artificial, overly concerned with re-creating period detail or interjecting relevant philosophical life concepts. |
| New York TimesDaniel M. GoldThe film nicely captures the grad-student vibe: beer-fueled bull sessions about science, religion, probability and destiny; fragile, self-absorbed egos preening even as confidence wavers. |
| New York Daily NewsJoe NeumaierThis quirky indie has an off-kilter, shaggy appeal and a filling story. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoDirector-writer Shimon Dotan takes this iffy story and makes it nearly unwatchable by jumping back and forth in time, using screens within screens and bouncing between color and black-and-white. |
| User Reviewmike hEver want to see a movie or read a book and can't find it. Well this one is it for me. I can't wait to see this film, I just cant find it, its not online, in the theatre, at any festivals, or video stores, and the book is so old i can't find a copy either. when will I see this film, or find this book so I can actually write a review, something about the trailers i saw, or this film just makes me want to see it. The one time I am not in New York, that's the only place it seems you can see it. If anybody's got a private jet and wants to see it drop me a line, Im on the west coast though. |
