What are critics saying?

The Film Stage by Dan Mecca

Hello, Bookstore is ultimately a profile of a man as much as it is a document of a place; Zax knows that the man is the place. And vice versa. What a thrill to root for an everyday hero.

TheWrap by Elizabeth Weitzman

Zax’s gentle, fly-on-the-wall perspective keeps us primarily in the present, reminding us that all we need is right there inside the shop.

The New York Times by Lisa Kennedy

Tannenbaum’s fondness for his store and its wares is a beautiful thing to behold, even at its most vulnerable.

Variety by Owen Gleiberman

Hello, Bookstore is a salute to the sacramental qualities of art that are threaded through everyday life.
