Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle This is, after all, a daughter profiling her dad and his co-worker. That intimacy informs the energy of the film, and opens up avenues hardly available to most documentarians. Rated: 4/5 Feb 8, 2023 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Great stuff over the last 40 years. I really enjoyed it. Jan 18, 2023 Full Review Ann Hornaday Washington Post The documentary double portrait of writer Robert Caro and editor Robert Gottlieb bristles with ego and good-humored tension. Rated: 3/4 Jan 18, 2023 Full Review Sean P. Means The Movie Cricket The dual portrait Lizzie Gottlieb paints of these two men of letters is tender and absorbing. She loves these guys, these guys love each other — though they would be embarrassed to put that word to it — and they love the work. Rated: 3.5/4 Apr 23, 2023 Full Review Robin Holabird Robin Holabird The complex dynamics between the two men create their own intriguing subject of a well-made documentary. Mar 16, 2023 Full Review Russ Simmons KKFI-FM (Kansas City) “Turn Every Page” is a fascinating and involving behind the scenes glimpse of these literary titans and their sometimes-contentious affiliation, a partnership that continues to this day. Rated: 4/5 Mar 3, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Sonja Both educational and entertaining. One of the best movies we've seen this season. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/11/23 Full Review Sallie S This is a must-see film for readers and writers. Also, it's an important film for everyone who cherishes books. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/05/23 Full Review MICHAEL Drove two hours to see the movie, was not disappointed, glad I did the drive. Enjoyed the interaction between Caro and Gottlieb and their humor. Found their background interesting and have a feeling I know who they are now, what wonderful people. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Elizabeth P Such an interesting and touching movie about a 50 year partnership. Highly recommend this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Cathy It is a gift of movie! I learned, I laughed and I was inspired! Excellently directed by Mr. Gottlieb's daughter. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Bonita Labossiere This documentary was FABULOUS!!! I intend to view it again. When it endedI wanted more. It was rich in the life details of both Robert Caro and Robert Gottlieb. Theirs was a deep and complicated partnership and creative communication. I did not expect the wealth of information that was offered in every framefrom a thought filled writers walk in Central Park to the care that an editor felt when having to remove hundreds of pages from what has since become an important literary work. I was mesmerized from beginning to end. See it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
