Reception
Reception for Breadcrumb Trail has been positive. James S. Rich liked the film, calling it "an exciting examination of the more ephemeral aspects of artistic creation." Dan Nixon of The Quietus stated "while its subject matter isn’t going to appeal outside of some pretty narrow boundaries, that’s a shame, as the story is refreshing in the way it demystifies the process of creating music." In a review for tinymixtapes, Paul Bower called it "an extremely well put-together documentary" and "without a doubt the best film he’s ever made" (in reference to director Lance Bangs).
