Two More Side by Side Reviews

Many thanks to digital spy for posting the link!

In anticipation of the UK theatrical release of Side by Side on Friday, UK based sites are beginning to post their reviews. Simon Reynolds’ of digital spy gave the documentary 4/5 stars. The entire review can be read here.

The Upcoming has reviewed Side by Side for the DVD release. The author sums up two major points of the debate nicely:

The debate revolves around two major aspects. The cast speak at length about the contrast between a nostalgic attachment to the good old photochemical film creation, with all its flaws and restrictions, and the will to accept and make good use of new technology because of its potential. Secondly, they address the ease, malleability, and economy of the digital methods against the challenges given by the film.

Also of note, The Upcoming has stated that Side by Side will be released nationwide on February 15th. I have not been able to determine whether that piece of info is correct. Regardless, the entire piece is here. Link via a google alert.
