Hold Up!

🎬 I'm NOT your casual movie reviewer!

I don't do plot overviews or safe, spoiler-free summaries. For that stuff, there's Wikipedia.

What I DO: I share my raw, unfiltered experience and thoughts on movies and TV shows. That means MAJOR SPOILERS could hit you in the very first line of any review.

I talk about films the way you'd chat with a friend who's already seen them. No dancing around plot points. No vague hints. Just honest, spoiler-filled conversation.

You've been warned. Now let's have a real talk about movies! 🍿

Indie Game: The Movie (2012)

Indie Game: The Movie (2012) movie poster

Indie Game: The Movie is a 2012 documentary film by Canadian filmmakers James Swirsky and Lisanne Pajot. The film documents the struggles of independent game developers Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes during the development of Super Meat Boy, Phil Fish during the development of Fez, and also Jonathan Blow, who reflects on the success of Braid. After two successful Kickstarter funds, interviews were conducted with prominent indie developers within the community. After recording over 300 hours of footage, Swirsky and Pajot decided to cut the movie down to follow the four developers selected. Their reasoning behind this was to show game development in the "past, present and future" tenses through each individual's story. The film won the World Cinema Documentary Editing Award at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and was also named 'Best Documentary' by the Utah Film Critics Association and nominated for a Canadian Screen Award in the category of 'Best Feature Documentary'.

Freddy Movie Review
***SPOILER ALERT***

super meat boy
Super Meat Boy is an awesome game; I'm glad to know something about the story of the two guys behind its production, very inspiring.
braid creator
I'm not going to say anything about Jonathan Blow... he might appear in my comments, and that would be creepy.
fez creator
5 years in production?! I feel obligated to try FEZ now!
