The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisSep 24, 2015
Revealing its humanity slowly and a little tardily, Finders Keepers finally does justice to its dueling antiheroes. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Bilge EbiriSep 29, 2015
It’s a tale of class privilege gone wrong, the relentless hunger for fame, stoic mourning and submerged family neuroses, and the crazy contortions caused by money and ownership. In 82 svelte minutes, Finders Keepers encapsulates something ineffable about the modern American experience. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranSep 24, 2015
Directors Bryan Carberry and Clay Tweel stick with this story long enough to emotionally deepen the proceedings and show us how the struggle changes lives in profound ways no one could have anticipated. Read full review

The GuardianBrian MoylanAug 28, 2015
Finders Keepers pays as much attention to the comedy of the story as the humanity. What could easily be a silly saga or a simple indictment of the culture of fame becomes something diabolically more insightful and uplifting. Read full review

Finders Keepers charts out a screwy insight into humanity that is usually only captured in the minds of twisted cartoonists. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreSep 30, 2015
Finders Keepers manipulates the stories like reality TV, pushing the viewers’ allegiance away from this man and towards that one, back and forth. Read full review

Boston GlobePeter KeoughSep 28, 2015
The film veers from farce to tragedy and relates a twisted variation on the American Dream. Read full review

Washington PostMichael O'SullivanSep 24, 2015
As Finders Keepers gets weirder, it also gets better and deeper. Somehow, Carberry and Tweel have managed to fashion an inspirational tale out of what one local newscaster calls a “freak show.” Read full review

SalonAndrew O'HehirSep 25, 2015
The bittersweet conclusion of Finders Keepers suggests that the important question is not whether we can retrieve what is lost or fulfill impossible dreams, but how we respond to those failures. Read full review

Screen DailyTim GriersonAug 28, 2015
An engaging documentary that’s perhaps too enchanted by its own “stranger than fiction” oddness to delve deeply enough into the human drama on display. Read full review

The PlaylistRodrigo PerezAug 28, 2015
Finders Keepers tries to find the humanity in the absurd, and while it surely has its share of moving moments, the conciliation of the sensational and profound is hard to reconcile. Read full review
