- Critics' reviews
-
-
"It's all true--every magical, exhilarating, infuriating, dumbfounding, jaw-dropping second of Gordon's miniature masterpiece."
-
"A funny and madly arresting new documentary."
-
"Gordon's documentary proves better than 90 percent of the manufactured stories out this summer. One can breathe a sigh of relief that it was done right and not cobbled into another bad fictional comedy."
-
"Gordon's feature directorial debut mostly stops being about video-game obsession and turns into a film about what it takes to make it in America."
-
"This film about fierce competition among classic video-game players is a comic action epic in documentary form. It captures fear -- and heroism -- in a handful of dusty video games."
-
"A sprightly new documentary that's as compulsively watchable as the vintage video game it focuses on is addictive."
