Sarah Larson New Yorker Its tone hovers between benign admiration and benign thoughtfulness, and interviewees tend toward pleasantly straightforward insight. But it's a worthy bit of American cultural history. Sep 19, 2018 Full Review John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter Overflowing with wholesome vibes yet not sappy, the film provokes warm feelings, even if its subject doesn't really demand feature-length treatment. Apr 17, 2018 Full Review Chris Packham Village Voice It's likely all the easy jokes that might occur to you about the magazine racks in the lobbies of dentists' offices will evaporate and you'll wonder if they might be hiring. Apr 17, 2018 Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media Informative but dry docu on beloved children's magazine. Rated: 3/5 Apr 26, 2018 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed If you've ever been a fan of the magazine as I have, "44 Pages" will prove to be a wonderful chronicle of a very valuable piece of literature.

Audience Member The overall effect was that the doc felt very superficial and spent more time on current employees than the family that started it and their history. Highlights spends a lot of time not rocking the boat (and trying to convince us why)so everything about the film feels very p.c. The magazine would have been better served exploring more of the history than just interviewing current employees, who couldn't seem to stop giggling. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
