What we get is quite fabulous: a wide-ranging gem of a documentary, an utter delight that ends up being, in some ways, a life and times look at both men. Read full review

The New York TimesBen KenigsbergDec 29, 2022
“Turn Every Page” is one step away from turning into a Herzogian monument to obsession or plunging into crazed psychodrama. Instead, it is merely a great profile, filled with wit, affection and detailed stories of how the books came to be. Read full review

Austin ChronicleKimberley JonesJan 26, 2023
This material is so rich probably any halfway decent filmmaker could assemble a competent doc tallying the two men’s extraordinary accomplishments. But only Lizzie Gottlieb could make a film where she does that plus needles her pop about wearing sweatpants for his sit-down interview. Read full review

Turn Every Page...is one of the finest films you’ll see about the craft of editing — not that there are so many of those. Read full review

Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerJan 6, 2023
Would Caro’s books have been any less great if he and Gottlieb had never met? Who knows? But as this bracingly affectionate film makes clear, it was the gift of a lifetime for both that they did. Read full review

Washington PostAnn HornadayJan 18, 2023
Rather than a self-indulgent portrait of two amazing men and their amazing careers, “Turn Every Page” bristles with ego and good-humored tension. Read full review

Boston GlobeOdie HendersonJan 18, 2023
Turn Every Page — The Adventures of Robert Caro and Robert Gottlieb is commendable for not only being entertaining but for also shining a light on a crucial process we don’t hear much about outside of certain professions. Read full review

Gottlieb (the director) uses a very light touch throughout. This is a family affair. Read full review

Lizzie Gottlieb’s documentary is a celebration of a profound, dying privilege. Read full review

The New YorkerAnthony LaneJan 9, 2023
The audience for Turn Every Page, I’d guess, will be a medley of Freudians, students of political muscle, and New Yorkers—each bearing a copy of “The Power Broker,” Caro’s 1974 book on Robert Moses, whittled down by Gottlieb to the size of a mere warehouse. Read full review

Though the documentary is clearly meant as a fan letter, not an even-handed report, it does overlook some important matters. Read full review
