AlexSmall – ★★★☆☆
“Sweet nostalgia is the order of the day with this documentary. There’s a specific joy to watching people gush about things they love, even if I don’t love those things myself. I love to dive into stuff like that.” -
DanAbel – ★★★☆☆
“A decent look at some really passionate collectors. I personally prefer DVD and Blu-ray to VHS because I like good quality and special features. But I understand that we are all collectors of physical media in a world that is increasingly going digital.” -
DanGorman – ★★★★☆
“My heart skipped a beat when I saw BradCo’s basement VHS video store. I’ve spent hours on that YouTube channel and loved seeing it pop up. A fantastic companion piece to Rewind This!“ -
orochileona – ★★☆☆☆
“Dry documentary, and while I appreciate the community of collectors, this lacks the pace or pizazz of Rewind This! which is far more enjoyable as a VHS-centric doc.” -
GavinRye – ★★★½☆
“A solid entry in the analog nostalgia space. I do love how this one seemed to be all shot on actual VHS cameras. It has a very lived-in, fuzzy aesthetic. Great clips and interviews.”
