Ex Libris: The New York Public Library's reviews
Media reviews
Los Angeles Times
Ex Libris: The New York Public Library is more than a magisterial mash note to that distinguished establishment, it?s a heartening examination of the vastness of human knowledge and the multiple ways we the people endeavor to access it.
The Washington Post
This is slow, almost languid filmmaking, yet it?s a delight to watch the countless ways in which the library is still capable of lifting us.
Variety
This is an enriching way to spend three-plus hours.
Screen Daily
Shot and edited with Wiseman?s customary poetry and precision, Ex Libris is structured as a series of forays from the Library?s Fifth Avenue heart to its orbiting satellites, and back again.
El País
'Ex Libris: The New York Public Library' is a film as overwhelming as what it tries to encompass.
El Mundo
A film so rigorous, precise, transparent and, most importantly, alive that simply subjugates.
