Time Still Turns the Pages is a meaningful and well-acted drama about the effects of child abuse, as well as how loneliness, depression, and anxiety are often mishandled or ignored.

My serious cinemania began in March 1951. This is the most beautiful film I have ever seen, in every way.

Loved it. Didn't expect much but as the movie progressed the story unfolded into a tightly woven masterpiece. Lots of empathy for the brother characters in the movie.
