“Film critic-turned-cartoonist Gelgud’s looping caricatures achieve an appropriate mix of ardent and self-satirizing. This one will be snapped up by cinephiles who might, in between Agnes Varda retrospectives and complaining about Letterboxd, wonder if they could hijack the Criterion Closet van.”–Publishers Weekly
“Radicals get their pomposity punctured with every punchline, but that doesn’t mean Gelgud, a one-time projectionist himself, disagrees with them.”–Sight and Sound
“Cartoonist Nathan Gelgud’s “Reel Politik” asks a question you never considered: What if there was a casual Sunday-comics-esque strip about insufferable movie snobs? (Yes, that’s a recommendation.)”–Chicago Tribune
“[Gelgud has] seemingly become the official cartoonist (and satirist) of cinema culture. Movie lovers will likely recognize themselves in the characters’ small-stakes bickering over such topics as assigned seating and film formats.”–Los Angeles Times
“A full-fledged action drama that goes in wonderfully weird directions..[for] anyone who loves to talk film and politics, or enjoys sharp satire.”–Hyperallergic
