“I enjoyed The Act of Reading. I loved its insight and heart. Blumberg’s documentary will give you warm feelings of nostalgia about reading.”
-Alan Ng
“To put it bluntly, I love this film as both an English teacher and as a film critic. The filmmakers succeed in breathing fresh life into not just an understanding of Moby Dick, but - as the title of the movie suggests - The Act of Reading itself […]. This film is more than just a journey of self-discovery. It is an acceptance of the fated lives we live.”
-Loron Hays
[…] An outright celebration of literature […] A thank you letter to the fine teachers that dedicate their days to getting younger minds to appreciate it […] A must see.
-John Edward Betancourt
