Critical response

Sumner Forbes at Film Threat scored it 8.5 out of 10 and said "The five people in the world that haven’t seen Tarantino’s film will be lost, but that’s a sacrifice worth making for a film centered around the world of the most influential film of the 1990s."[1] Audiences at Fan Fiction Film Festival recommended the film.[6]
