This is a small Canadian film that we hope can make a big impact.
Way to Go Matt!!
Here are some early reviews!!!
“Don’t You Forget About Me is a fun walk down memory lane for anyone who grew up watching Hughes’ work. You can feel the love that Matt and the people behind it have for Hughes, and the interview subjects (which include stars of Hughes’ films like Judd Nelson and Alan Ruck, along with Roger Ebert, Kevin Smith and Jason Reitman) genuinely admire this man and his work.”
City News – Brain McKechnie
“The directors sudden death in August makes the doc’s release – and frank interviews – all more poignant.”
National Post – We Can’t Wait For….
“Don’t You Forget About Me has a nifty gimmick, following Sadowski and his three producers as they try to track down the reclusive Hughes ostensibly for an interview, but really just to tell him how much they miss him.”
Varsity – Will Sloan
“The crew plants the cameras in front of some great talkers who have plenty of interesting ideas”
*** CanWest – Katherine Monk
“…builds a strong case for the reclusive director’s substantial influence on the generation of filmmakers that followed. It’s a well assembled retrospective.”
*** Now Magazine – Norman Wilner
“…works as a sort of tribute (a very entertaining one) to a man who gave voice to a generation; a great companion piece to any of Hughes’ films.”
*** Row Three – Marina Antunes
