Brief thoughts on Videoheaven (2025) Tribeca 2025


Alex Ross Perry navel gazes for three hours and talks about the age of video stores.

This is an over long self indulgent snooze fest. Its a clinical look at the history of video stores using endless film clips.  It's a film that literally repeats sections of narration over and over again.  There is nothing here that a 20 minute You Tube Video wouldn't have said more concisely.

I think the reason that the film got picked up was the same reason that the people who liked it at Tribeca did, which was the clever use of film clips.  If you want more than that then this film is boring.

Avoid this unless you like to sleep
