A staid, static movie that wins us over with its outstanding performances and its love of books.

Vividly conveys the magical ways that friendship can open up new worlds of experience and meaning.

By a miracle of writing, acting and direction, what could have been a deadly moviegoing experience is turned into something very like pure gold.
