Entertainment Reviews:
While the documentary is about the specific emotional journey of General Magic and the psychological impact of defeat, there's a fair bit to unpack when we think more broadly about tech culture's attitude toward failure.

"General Magic" shows how it may have never happened had the startup's timing not been a little bit off.

This documentary explores one of Silicon Valley's most essential stories; it's told in a pretty ordinary way, and it's stretched too thin, but it's ultimately still enlightening and inspiring.

"General Magic" is such an involving documentary for so many reasons it's hard to know where to begin. The title itself, as it turns out, might be best.

In the grand scheme of things, failure is not only an option but a necessary step in the right direction. Maybe that didn't work, but why and where does it point? The future is wide open as long as we keep moving forward.

It's fascinating to watch these young people dream big, coming up with ideas that were wild back then but are everyday now. And to see them develop the hardware to make it work is astonishing.

Shadows on the Wall
Product Description:
In 1994, before smartphones and wifi were ubiquitous, a secret startup in Silicon Valley known as General Magic was producing handheld devices long before the world was ready. As the company went into decline, these workers went on to become the forefathers of the internet age, building hugely successful careers and businesses of their own after proving that sometimes timing is everything. Directed by Sarah Kerruish and Matt Maude.
