Movie Reviews

New York Post - 6/10 by Lou LumenickIn monotonous narration, Rosette rants that the vendors' right to free speech should allow them to obstruct sidewalks, but the portrait of his subculture is so vaguely rendered, it will likely put audiences to sleep rather than change minds.
TV Guide Magazine - 6/10 by Steven MillerRosette's film takes on a seriously Orwellian cast when the sellers mobilize to wage a civil war of words against the Big Brotherly NYC bureaucrats and academics trying to sweep them off the street.
Film Journal International - 3/10 by Ed KelleherSheds some light on a demimonde of sorts at the edges of Greenwich Village
The New York Times - 3/10 by A.O. ScottThe movie is like spending an idle afternoon browsing, and not buying.
User Review - 4/10 by John MInteresting look at the street booksellers on 4th and 6th streets in New York, but falls short of its potential with its pretension, awful hipster noir narration with a beatnik jazz score, and a lack of basic ability with a camera.
