Rating: 3/5 -- For cinephiles, this will be effective propaganda in service of a belief they already hold, a reaffirmation of their purist convictions from a simpatico mind. Full Review

I was worried that The Projectionist would be another dirge about the end of an era, but it's Ferrara's light touch and likable subject that make it so much more. Full Review

Combining a tribute to the theatrical moviegoing experience with a profile of an immigrant living the American dream, Ferrara's documentary is both relevant and heartfelt. Full Review
