Reviews
Janet Maslin wrote in The New York Times on January 29, 1993 that the focus was on the fictional film Mant , which was a parody of the horror films of the early 1960s. Matinée devotes a lot of attention to American pop culture in 1962. The film is "funny" and "witty" , but it is "overloaded" with supporting characters . Goodman offers the most reliable and entertaining screen presence in comedy.
The lexicon of international films wrote that the film was a "gorgeous little comedy designed as a declaration of love for the low-budget horror film of the 50s" . “Beyond the cinematic homage” , the film reflects “on the difference between real horror and fictional horror” .
