An irresistible mix of insouciance and precocious maturity. Much of its charm lies in Tan's ironic irreverence as the film's narrator.

What Tan has given us is an incredible, sui generis tribute to the international lingua franca of D.I.Y. cinempowerment.

It's a charming, wistful movie, and I trust Tan will not have to wait another 20 years to direct her next film.

A meditative documentary that is part true crime, part rumination on the nature of creation, and a complete love letter to the transformative power of cinema.
