United States | Village Voice | "It's all true--every magical, exhilarating, infuriating, dumbfounding, jaw-dropping second of Gordon's miniature masterpiece." | POS |
United States | Entertainment Weekly | "A funny and madly arresting new documentary." | POS |
United States | Chicago Tribune | "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." | POS |
United States | AV Club | "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." | POS |
United States | Baltimore Sun | "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." | POS |
United States | Los Angeles Times | "A sprightly new documentary that's as compulsively watchable as the vintage video game it focuses on is addictive." | POS |
