For 20 years Lost has been one of, if not the most important television show of my entire life.
I’ve watched it all the way through once a year, every year, since 2012 and it never stops being important. In some ways it gets more important every year.
This movie is the closest anyone will ever get to fully touching on how it feels to be a lost fan, how huge and intimate and powerful and life changing and unifying.
I felt deeply seen and tremendously moved while watching this. This entire theater full of lost fans felt the exact same way. We laughed and cheered and cried and loved and all found that place we’d meet. The place we built together.
LOST is my all-time favourite TV show, so there was no chance I was going to be objective about this, but I absolutely loved it. A really great documentary about the show in the year of its 20th anniversary, exploring the origins & ending of the show, parts of the journey it took to get there, and its impact & legacy.
There are a lot of talking heads in this—most of them well-known people, including cast & crew of the show, some famous fans, cultural writers that covered the show as it aired. Then there’s also the regular fans, including podcasters, charity founders, and more. At first I was worried that they wouldn’t fit in, seemingly just there to gush. But then the…
I’m so proud of this documentary. Thanks to all of the crew, backers, family and friends who supported us over the years it took to make this.
Namaste.
this is an odd one in some ways. it is impossible to make a documentary about LOST that stands on its own, and this film *opens* with Jorge Garcia giving a spoiler warning before even the title gets dropped. but it doesn't just expect you to have watched the show, either; as someone who's been an unwavering LOST fan since 2005, i can see a million ways in which this documentary is responding to long-standing fandom conversations and generalized misconceptions. perhaps this is just my own limited perspective impressing itself onto the film, but i do wonder what someone who only watched LOST for the first time, like, a year ago and never really read up about its production or…
Full disclosure, I am in this, featured a few times getting to talk about the show Lost. I had met Taylor and Ralph, the director and producers, a while ago when they interviewed me, and I've gotten to see them work on this passion project for nearly three years. I am truly happy to report this documentary is fantastic. Yes, it's a great tribute to the show, how it was made, and some of the incredible storytelling we got from it. But I'm even more happy about how this film portrays the fans. This movie is a love letter to the fans, above all else. I'm also very glad the film addresses and deals with the revelations about the toxic…
“We have to go back!”
My favourite tv show of all time Lost, gets its own joyous celebration in this documentary. Interviewing the cast, crew and mega fans in a rather sweet celebration of what the show means to people and the wider pop culture. It’s perhaps not as focussed as I’d have liked on the actual production/stories from the cast and crew, but the adoration of the fandom is really well done and sweet.
Lost means the world to me. I frequently refer to it as, “Is it the best show I’ve ever seen? No way. Is it my favorite show of all time? Absolutely.” Warts and all, I adore it.
This crowdfunded doc (hey, I helped pay for this!) captures what it meant to be an engaged audience member from 2004 - 2010. The message boards, the podcasts, etc. Mixed with BTS interviews of the cast and crew, it shines a light on what made the series so special and its impact on pop culture as a whole.
Where it succeeds the most is highlighting how shows like Lost create positive community. It’s often beautiful in capturing how fans met and fell in love…
I’ll see ya in another life, brotha.
I cried my dumb little heart out, I love this show more than life itself and I’m so thankful so have been able to go to the second premiere. I will be watching and crying again as soon as I get my digital download.
I only wish Naveen Andrews had agreed to be a part of it (aka Sayid aka MY MAN).
Awesome, touching doc that really captures the spirit of the show and its fandom.
World premiere screening with lots of cast and crew.
Sophia was one of the cinematographers and helped shoot around a dozen interviews. I helped on Jack Bender's interview.
