Wordplay, the documentary about crossword puzzles, is one of the films screening at this year’s Philadelphia Film Festival. Carrie Rickey gave the film a middling review saying that the segments featuring Merl Reagle (a local favorite in Philly) and Bill Clinton were particularly engaging but she was less thrilled about watching people working on puzzles you couldn’t see in the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament segment. After the review, however, the article notes that the film’s first screening was sold out. At least in part due to Reagle’s popularity.
