The Automat Movie Reviews
Sheer delight for anyone misses (or wonders about) Automats
THE AUTOMAT takes viewers back to the very beginning, sharing how Joseph Horn and Frank Hardart teamed to create the eateries so many of us love, though they no longer exist. Hurwitz spoke to family members, former employees, historians, authors and a few celebs — Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Eliot Gould, Colin Powell — about their Automat memories, and the result is a joyful yet unavoidably elegiac film that is simply a must-see for anyone with an interest in these bygone gems.
I expected this film to be good — I was counting on it. And it lived up to and exceeded all hopes and expectations.
Really fun
I used to frequent the last automat, and I was very fond of it.
This made me a bit sad, though, because American business is no longer like it was. These guys STARTED by wanting to make a good restaurant, and figured that would make them money. Today, they just want to make money, and don’t actually care about the product at all.
But it was a beautiful trip to a past time.
Makes you wish you could go back in time to enjoy life’s simple pleasures.
THE AUTOMAT (2022) **** Documentarian Lisa Hurwitz looks back at an American institution, the automat – a self-service cafeteria in Philadelphia and NYC, that congregated the masses for its simple function of providing good food for literally nickels. Nostalgic pure and loving with famous folk like Colin Powell, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elliott Gould, Carl Reiner, and the film’s heart and soul, the irrepressible Mel Brooks, all recounting personal memories of attending the establishment in heartfelt detail. Makes you wish you could go back in time to enjoy life’s simple pleasures.
