Objects is a documentary that looks at the connection we all have to the things that keep us tied to our pasts, our memories, and continue to be touchstones for our emotional journeys. The film profiles three people who have grown profound emotional connections to things they came upon, accidentally, at pivotal moments in their lives and have held onto ever since. That trio includes NPR correspondent and former Radiolab co-host Robert Krulwich, who has kept a clump of grass for fifty years, author Heidi Julavits, who has saved and preserved wardrobe from an obscure French actress from the 50s, after the woman's life became an object of fascination, a puzzle to solve, for her, and graphic designer Rick Rawlins, who among other cherished keepsakes, has safeguarded a sugar egg he received as a child for four decades.

Jonita Davis The Black Cape (Medium) Objects is a quirky documentary that is surprisingly entertaining. It will leave you questioning the objects around you and the attachments to them. Dec 27, 2023 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Objects is a great view for fans of indie docs and anyone who enjoys films that explore all the eccentricities and unique qualities that make us all so richly human. Rated: 3.0/4.0 Dec 6, 2023 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix The documentary Objects takes an entertaining look at sentimental attachments to possessions, with an emphasis on giving anecdotes instead of giving deep analysis. The documentary is charming but not very innovative in its presentation. Sep 6, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Dean I Objects traces the ability of physical items to bring our past to life again. Or sometimes to create an experience from someone else's past. Three very articulate characters weave their stories in a way that will make you reconsider the material things in your own life. The writing, the camera work, the editing and the recreations make this hour-long film a memorable object in its own right. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Mindy R Objects is ostensibly about stuff. But it really about human identity and mortality. Wistful, funny, endearing…beautifully written, shot, edited and produced. You won't regret watching it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/23 Full Review Rebecca Richman C Heartfelt, beautiful, surprising gem of a film! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
