Film ThreatLorry KiktaSep 26, 2018
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

The Hollywood ReporterDaniel FienbergSep 26, 2018
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 VergeTasha RobinsonSep 26, 2018
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 PlaylistGary GarrisonSep 26, 2018
Despite its tendency to lean upon self-serious reimaginings, it is nonetheless an engaging and tenderly drawn film that is likely to resonate with anyone who has had to do the tireless work of sorting through an estate of a family member. Read full review

306 Hollywood is best when it gets either very scientifically dry, or reaches beyond its liminal cuteness into ambitious visual poetry. Read full review

The Film StageDaniel SchindelSep 26, 2018
When it works, the movie strongly evokes the feeling of sorting through a loved one’s possessions after their death. Read full review

The A.V. ClubMike D'AngeloSep 25, 2018
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

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

The New York TimesBen KenigsbergSep 27, 2018
A family portrait that plunges into what will strike many viewers as T.M.I. territory, the documentary 306 Hollywood makes for morbid, at times insufferable viewing. But its solipsism is part of its message. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleOct 11, 2018
The need to make an ordinary life extraordinary is so prevalent it smothers any genuine emotion from family members losing a loved one. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreSep 25, 2018
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
