“As expansive and inviting as its picturesque New Zealand landscapes, a joyous sense of adventure shines through in Ant Timpson’s Bookworm, a delightfully quirky father-daughter adventure with the perfect blend of childlike wonder and grown-up bite. It’s a charming escapade that brings Taika Waititi’s Hunt for the Wilderpeople to mind — in that, Bookworm is for everyone who takes their family road movies with a side of maturity, breathtaking stakes and a droll sense of humor.” – Tomris Laffly / Variety
