Jamie Toth, in his review of Only in Theaters for Cyclops at the Cinema, explores the documentary and its power to inspire action, examining the combination of a compelling story and skilled storytelling. Toth expresses a strong inclination to visit a small, local theater and make it a regular part of their routine after watching the documentary. Toth states, “When I first watched Only In Theaters, the very first thing I wanted to do after it ended was go see a movie in a small, local theater and start to do so regularly. The urge sparked a bit of curiosity.”
