Robert W. Monk Flickering Myth 02/21/2019
5/5
Videoman is a beautiful story of fragility and support. The fact that Söderström has brought all this out in his debut feature is testament to how successful a pure filmic vision can be. Go to Full Review

7/10
While Videoman's appeal initially lies with its obsessive collector aspects and nerd appeal, the lasting value of Söderström's film rests with the tale of grown-up romance between two broken souls. Go to Full Review
Anton Bitel SciFiNow 09/05/2018
all at once a wryly funny, bleakly melancholic film whose two principal characters are, in more ways than one, accidentally dating. Go to Full Review
Jennie Kermode Eye for Film 08/29/2018
3/5
A consciously downbeat film in which there can never be any guarantee of salvation, Videoman is a touching portrait of two people coping with the stresses life throws at them by finding joy in little things and in each other. Go to Full Review

isla s 09/02/2022 This is a very quirky film, with a strong sense of 80s nostalgia. There's quite an emphasis on artificial colours and lighting. I was surprised to find the final scene somewhat touching. I suppose in a way I could relate to the whole aspect of harking back to better, happier times. I can't deny the collector in me felt somewhat jealous of his VHS collection. There are one or two amusing moments but I wouldn't call it an all-out comedy film as such. If you like quirky, indie world cinema, then I would recommend this film, yes. See more 11/07/2020 An interesting distraction. Some scenes paying tribute to the 80's horror genre were a nice touch. See more 02/18/2019 Fun-filled and brimming with emotion, romance and comedy that also touches on themes of addiction and loneliness. An unexpected film that showcases the giallo style. Must watch for lovers of the 80s. See more Read all reviews
