“Director Jane Schoenbrun blurs the lines between reality and fantasy with an intoxicating, Lynchian flair.” -Washington Post
“This is, in many ways, the ultimate love letter to the analog age, with perfect timing as so many Gen Xers and Millennials are looking back at the white noise they came from.” -Film Threat
“Schoenbrun’s millennial ‘Videodrome’ interrogates not just the roles screens play in our lives but the roles we play while projecting ourselves onto them.” -WBUR
