REVIEWS

“The Untitled Amazing Johnathan Documentary is light and delightfully funny, from the amazing twists that populate the film to the superb one-liners supplied by support personalities and their reactions to Ben Berman’s increasingly dire predicament.” – Evan Saathoff, Birth.Movies.Death.

“Untitled Amazing Johnathan Documentary unexpectedly shows how the documentary form can be exhilarating because you don’t know where a story will take you.” – Matt Goldberg, Collider

“It’s an engaging documentary with two charming subjects, and I’d recommend it to fans of The Amazing Johnathan and the uninitiated alike.” – Anthony Ray Bench, Film Threat
