Phone Booth is 82 New York minutes long, all of them exciting.Full Review

Stephen Hunter
Washington Post

Provides a reminder of the power of unadorned drama and language -- whole torrents of eloquent words -- in the service of a nifty idea.Full Review

Joe Morgenstern
Wall Street Journal

What keeps Phone Booth going, despite its premise, is the acting and the writing, both of which are top-notch.Full Review

Michael O'Sullivan
Washington Post

Short, suspenseful, funny, and profane, the film's a throwback to the neat little B-level thrillers the entertainment industry used to crank out by the dozen in the post- World War II era and the early days of TV.Full Review

Ty Burr
Boston Globe

The movie is essentially a morality play, and it's not a surprise to learn that Larry Cohen, the writer, came up with the idea 20 years ago--when there were still phone booths and morality plays.Full Review
