4/5
"These guys have to know they're ridiculous. Don't they?"  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

4/5
"There’s never a moment in Cinemania where we don’t want to know any more about these people."  eFilmCritic.com  David Cornelius

3/4
"Eccentricity never struck this close to home before."  Movie Boeuf  David N. Butterworth

B-
"What keeps it from being great, I think, is that these folks' cinemania comes through, but their cinephilia does not."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

3/4
"An enjoyable look at the almost frightening grip that cinephilia has on these people's lives."  MovieMartyr.com  Jeremy Heilman

5/10
"Cinemania might have been a more edifying experience if it really delved into the roots of this obsession."  All Movie Guide  Josh Ralske

4/5
"Creepily fascinating. For all that they consume, they seem little interested in the films themselves, as an art form or as an industry."  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

2.5/5
"Their mania might be funny if it weren't so creepy."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

"[Ends up] focusing on the dismal fact that their subjects have cut themselves off from real life in favor of reel life."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

4/5
"All five people are fascinating."  Film Threat  Rory L. Aronsky

2/5
"Sure, it's vital for a documentarian to present their subject with a minimum of subjectivity, but the overall sense I got from the ponderous Cinemania is simply that "boy these people sure are weird and fun to laugh at"."  eFilmCritic.com  Scott Weinberg

1/4
"It's unable to dig beneath the surface of movie-obsession to find a chord of humanity."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
