I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

I loved this movie. Great interviews and gorgeous imagery of pencil manufacturing. As an artist, an animator, a carpenter, and a writer, it inspired me to go out and buy a box of Blackwing pencils and a vintage pencil box to put them in. Can't wait to get my new pencils, sharpen them and start creating!
