Last night my partner and I watched the last scenes of this movie again, just to absorb all the details. This is unusual for us. I found "Phone Booth" fascinating, moving, and amazing. The writer was really good. The whole movie takes place in one city block, except for a lead-in that encompasses, oh, maybe three blocks! It's testimony to the excellent writing and acting, that the movie commands rapt attention to this one small space.
I had expected a suspense thriller with some sort of psycho threatening some innocent people. You could find this in "Phone Booth" but it's too simplistic and silly a description. The movie is much more than that, and much better. It's thought provoking, for one thing. Who knows, maybe it's life changing. I can report on my level of honesty as time goes on - unless, that is, I'm lying....
