Largely Meandering and Unfocused, with some Interesting Moments
16 June 2021
The Booksellers tries hard to be peppy, upbeat, and even edgy, while addressing a subject that's bound to have a significant built in audience - but it meanders along without much focus or direction. It took me two sessions to slog through it. I think if there were an actual story arc, it would be more compelling. As it is, it's more like a literary 'wash' of words and participants. Some interesting moments are speckled in there though. Many of the locations and subjects/interviewees are not captioned or labeled, leaving the viewer to guess as to their identities. If you're into books, and New York booksellers, you may find it worthwhile.
