For all its gifted collaborators, "Film" was not a match made in heaven. But for moviegoers who care about film not just as a title, Notfilm can be unreservedly recommended. Read full review

[A] studious, rigorous, and surprisingly tender documentary. Read full review

Ross Lipman's gloriously egalitarian approach to culture means that his complex argumentation never becomes inaccessible. Read full review

A charming, earnest, sometimes ungainly mixture of history, criticism and high-minded gossip, Notfilm testifies to an almost inexhaustible fascination with the pleasures and paradoxes of cinema. Read full review

This is a wonderfully organized rare glimpse into the making of a rare artistic endeavor — Beckett's only work on film. What a treat. Film preservationist/historian/director Ross Lipman is the perfect guide through these never-before-seen outtakes and production recordings.
