"It shows us the flashback, and then it shows us what's going on. Lost shows us who we used to be, how we can be, and ultimately, maybe what we should strive to be."
More than the nostalgia, more than this fandom (that I'm proudly a part of), I love how we didn't shy away from the smoke monster in the room. And that alone more than justifies the existence of this documentary.
We had to go back. We did. Now, we move on. Namaste. ✈️🏝️🐻❄️
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.
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.
Today I cried for the first time over a documentary. And you can understand that this is an extraordinary event, considering that I studied at the documentary film department of film school and was forced to watch hundreds of documentaries due to my student debt. And no, this is not a random touching movie that I stumbled upon and now I am rushing to tell you about a tear-jerking experience - I followed the production of this project from its announcement, was happy with every news from the filming, and at one point even thought that if no one implements this film, I will have to do it myself.
When the joy of recognizing my favorite aged actors began to…
As a long time LOST fan, watching this felt like coming home ❤️
It’s hard to overstate what a cultural phenomenon this show was when it aired. My first exposure was a little late - after season 4, maybe? - when I was visiting my then-best friend at his grandpa’s in Arizona, the summer after my first year of grad school in Denver. He was like, “hey, got something for you to check out,” and me, him, and my boyfriend at the time promptly fell into at least a week long hole of non-stop booze, cigarettes, and 60+ episodes, watching pirated copies sitting out in his grandpas garage on very uncomfy chairs. It was heaven, and if I had to…
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…
A beautiful love letter to my favourite show of all time! A must watch for Lost fans.
WE HAVE TO GO BACK!
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…
If you love the TV show LOST as much as I do then this documentary will scratch a very specific itch. It is a retrospective made by fans for other fans, of which I count myself a member of the congregation. Yes, I am a LOST acolyte! A true believer. I think it is one of the greatest pieces of mainstream entertainment to emerge from the 21st Century (thus far) and maybe ever. So, 'Getting LOST' is essentially preaching to my choir here, although it allows room for some heresy too, featuring digressions on the various disappointments and controversies inside and outside of the series. Basically, it's a fan servicing lovefest with a few sour notes.
