The Booksellers

"The eclectic characters and their sometimes labyrinthine book-filled spaces are frequently delightful, anxious to shake the traditional cinematic representation of fusty, tweed-jacketed, leather-patched ageing white man..."

"The Booksellers is a documentary for anyone who can still look at a book and see a dream, a magic teleportation device, an object that contains the world."

"The Booksellers tends to be a bit too digressive at times, lapsing into many tangents that are never uninteresting but tend to cause it to lose focus. Nonetheless, the film provides an evocative portrait of a way of life that is hopefully not completely vanishing anytime soon."

"One should never try to tell a movie’s fortune, but I suspect that “The Booksellers” will end up preaching to the choir—to those of us who are pathologically incapable of passing a used bookstore without entering."

"Will print books ultimately disappear, replaced by digital versions? The ever-entertaining and insightful Fran Lebowitz offers anecdotal evidence to the contrary. She notes that on the subway she sees many people in their 20s reading actual books. So perhaps there is hope a new generation will revive the bound medium."
