Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (LAist) Jul 24, 2021
A lovely coming of age drama... It's a very funny and touching film. Go to Full Review Glenn Heath Jr. The Film Stage Oct 30, 2020
C+
Anchored by four fine leading performances, the film finds its groove in that particular sweet spot of subversion, even if certain bits and pieces are far more satisfying than the sum of its parts. Go to Full Review Wilson Kwong Film Inquiry May 20, 2020
Although Death of Nintendo may not be the most ingenious piece of filmmaking, it does manage to find a focal point of inspiration despite adhering to the very familiar tropes of the coming-of-age narrative. Go to Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Apr 13, 2020
"Death of Nintendo" seems to have been made with the best of intentions, and the presentation of the era definitely evokes a sense of nostalgia. In the end, however, it remains a rather faulty effort, which fails to retain interest until the end. Go to Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film Mar 18, 2020
3/5
Even when it's rough around the edges, these are characters that we want to spend time with and, in fact, they would make a great gang to build a television series around. Go to Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest Mar 4, 2020
...although it will take some time for [the characters] to laugh about it, the endearing comedy lets audiences do so immediately. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
