Movie Reviews
“This is a very well-made film (…) It’s a surprise contender for best Christmas movie of the last several years” Michael Ordoña: Los Angeles Times
“‘8-Bit Christmas’ may have a more grounded approach to gamer culture than you’d expect, but it’s constantly beat by its own limited imagination (…) Rating: ?½ (out of 4)” Nick Allen: rogerebert.com
- “Fun ’80s nostalgia tour has mild language, violence (…) Rating: ??? (out of 5)” Jennifer Green: Common Sense Media
Release Date
