	Media	Author	Review
		Stephen Farber The Hollywood Reporter	"Unorthodox and delightful (...) A rich and rewarding cinematic essay on what the demise of the typewriter might tell us about our changing civilization."
		Daphne Howland Village Voice	"A compelling look at a valuable contraption that’s slipping through our grasp"
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A lively and appealing analog-nostalgia documentary (...) A playful piece of Luddite fetishism"
		Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"It’s really about how we create art (...) It’s the fringe folks who entertain"
