5 Stars! “a grand love letter to cinema as much as it is to Lynch…those who are drawn to the topic will be enthralled by every second.” (The Up Coming)

“a hypnotic deep dive into David Lynch’s fascination (or obsession) with The Wizard of Oz…It’s one of the best documentaries of the year.” (Dread Central)

“exceptional visual storytelling…a documentary that beautifully fosters critical discourse while also, with every shot, reminding about what a magical experience truly loving a cinematic work can be.” (POV)

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!
