"Lovely and wistful. 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."
Variety

“If you love books, you’ll adore this documentary.”
Los Angeles Times

“Delightful. As quirky and filled with unexpected gems as any cluttered bookshop.”
The Economist

“‘The Booksellers’ looks at the esoteric world of the antiquarian trade, and the passionate, eclectic and endangered characters who make it hum.”
The New York Times

“Charming, beguiling. A delightful homage.”
NPR

“A treat for anyone who appreciates the printed word.”
The Hollywood Reporter

“The camera finds palpable joy in watching sellers and collectors’ tactile, familiar sense of books.”
The Guardian

“A loving, literary tour of New York. Pays warm-hearted tribute to the reading, but also the shopping, the rifling, the obsessing, the complaining, the dreaming, the list-making, the shelf-organizing, and everything else book-lovers love to do.”
