Kristopher Tapley reviewed Side by Side for HITFIX. He points out that Chris Kenneally’s film has framed the film vs. digital debate in layman’s terms allowing general audiences to be drawn into the debate. There is no other film, to date, that has been as thorough or definite on this subject matter.
One of Mr. Tapley’s comments that caught my eye was:
The sense that digital has sparked an anyone-can-do-it revolution clearly chafes for some of these people. Indeed, one of the most annoying comments of the entire film — I forget the talking head — was, “There isn’t a taste-maker involved.” Producer/narrator/interviewer Keanu Reeves’ “wow” in response was the nice way of putting it.
