I enjoyed The Act of Reading. I loved its insight and heart.

Where the film doesn't quite hold together is Blumberg's meandering quest for redemption and the overshare of a fractious relationship with his girlfriend.

...a final book report that never engages as a whole as it has far too many self-indulgent tangents that rob the film of the universal message that lies at the heart of its strongest ideas.
