Rarely has a film so resourcefully evoked the transportive but decidedly analog thrill of reading. Go to Full Review Juan Barquin RogerEbert.com 2d
3/4
The journey itself is what matters for Walker & Auen’s film, and every minute of that is too infectious to even look away for more than a mere moment Go to Full Review Brandon Yu New York Times 2d

Very cozy and interesting, a literary thriller that unfolds like you're reading a book. I found it gripping. Go to Full Review Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...? 2d
6/10
