Village Voice by

An insightful new geek documentary, well directed by first-timers Lisanne Pajot and James Swirsky.

Los Angeles Times by Gary Goldstein

Fortunately, Pajot and Swirsky don't overdo the minutiae (this is a movie even non-gamers can enjoy), offering just enough insight into the creative process to feel enlightening.

Slant Magazine by Nick Schager

Makes a compelling case for games as not only clever hand-eye coordination exercises, but also as manifestations of their creators' emotional and philosophical viewpoints.

Variety by Rob Nelson

The picture scores big points by drawing a sharp distinction between corporate vidgame programmers and indies.
