Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Ms. Finlay's smartly assembled film is an affectionate portrait of a shrinking group of record collectors under technological siege.
Fresh: Finlay's handheld style is as casually intimate as her subjects, and the film stirringly posits music as a path to communal bliss.
Fresh: Finlay takes a gentle approach with her subjects, letting their passion - and hers - guide the doc, which was crowd-source funded by more than 250 donors.
Fresh: As Tolstoy might have put it, "good record stores are all alike," whatever their size or stock or the number of tattoos sported by their customers.
