	Media	Author	Review
		Wendy Ide The Guardian	"Kim Hopkins’s lovely documentary portrait of an amateur cineastes’ club founded in 1932 and now on its uppers is a little gem (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Films are a way to pass the time, but also a means to chronicle our lives. That sentiment powers 'A Bunch Of Amateurs', a modest but moving documentary filled with a lot of fondness"
		Whelan Barzey Time Out	"Like a conversation with your grandparents, the film reaches points where it can be a little bit drawn out and repetitive. But when the curtain falls on 'A Bunch of Amateurs', you'll really miss these character and their stories (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Cath Clarke The Guardian	"A joyous and heartbreaking celebration of film-making passion (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Laurence Boyce Cineuropa	"A thoroughly moving and ultimately joyful affair, 'A Bunch of Amateurs' reminds us that, while we sit in the dark to watch a film, it's more fun when we do it with other people"
