The Automat (2021)
A remarkable, funny, tender film about an important part of American food culture and history. Makes you want to go back for seconds.

THE AUTOMATIC is a masterpiece. A deeply thoughtful return to a by-gone era. Director Lisa Hurwitz brings us emotionally and intimately into the people, the sites, the smells, the tastes of this important slice of American history. The film takes you back to what it felt like to experience the community and culture of these iconic restaurants. The film is incredibly insightful, funny, tender, full of nostalgia and joy. This is a rare documentary that genuinely makes you feel good. The perfect film to see with friends and family and then have a slice of pie and talk about it. I cannot wait to see this film again.
