Praise:
"Aside from the general excitement spurred by
the possibility of finding valuable loot, Levine taps
into the human need to believe in something and the
immeasurable value of the simple pleasures found in
one's own backyard." - indieWIRE
"a treasure." - the Woodstock Times
"I became so enmeshed in the personalities and
thoughts of those interviewed during the course of
the film, it became difficult to decide who to root
for. The suspense built around who will find the treasure
first is compelling." - Chronogram Magazine
