The Bogarin siblings use many methods of storytelling to tell us the tale of their family, creating an atmosphere in 306 Hollywood that is Errol Morris-meets-Wes Andersen. It’s a beautiful documentary filled with magical realism and most importantly the heart and soul of their grandmother. Read full review

306 Hollywood is a personal essay! It's a tone poem! It's a biographical collage! It's an embrace of the banal kitschy! It's magic realism! It's such a little story you may wonder why it's being told at all, except that it's a story likely to touch anybody who has ever lost a loved one, which makes it a very big story. Read full review

The siblings address their family through a Wes Anderson lens, with a tone so playful and visually poetic that it drops into surrealism. It feels like a fresh new approach to an old genre — a willingness to not just embrace the subjectivity of family documentaries, but to charge into it full-bore. Read full review

The result feels like an experiment to determine whether sheer creativity can transform the mundane into the magical, and qualifies as a partial success. If nothing else, you have to concede that they tried. Read full review

When it works, the movie strongly evokes the feeling of sorting through a loved one’s possessions after their death. Read full review

Far from feeling like a eulogy, the tone of 306 Hollywood is magnificently playful. Read full review

The universal truths are banal, the narcissistic navel gazing in this episode of “Hoarders” just inspires eye rolling. 306 Hollywood is a home movie best left to the home it was shot in. Read full review

After the death of their beloved grandmother, an adult brother and sister decide to perform an archaeological examination of her house. They comb thru the clutter to analyze and catalog the contents.

This soundsAfter the death of their beloved grandmother, an adult brother and sister decide to perform an archaeological examination of her house. They comb thru the clutter to analyze and catalog the contents. Luckily, they have years of video interviews to flesh out her personality. This sounds somewhat self-indulgent and it is, but what makes the documentary so interesting is their approach. With attractive cinematography and unusual flights of fancy, they’ve expanded their quest to the level of art film. There are visually delightful compositions that, frankly, make the movie more appealing that it otherwise would be.… Expand
