The Phantom Tollbooth: Beyond Expectations Audience Reviews

Libramedi Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant

TeenzTen An action-packed slog
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
lmakman This documentary playfully recounts the journey of Norton Juster's classic novel, beginning with the friendship and collaboration of two young hip Brooklyn housemates--juster and Jules Feiffer, both from the Jewish immigrant world of the outer boroughs of new york city. With a Juster-like whimsical touch, the film looks at the book's creation, its reception, and its emergence as a classic, showing how it has touched the lives of generations of readers. The film interweaves multiple voices –the voices of its creators and of others who have been moved by them and their work—It gestures at the many allegorical meanings of a book that is—brilliantly illuminating, inimitable and--as we will hear in the film --"hard to summarize"
