Delightful ... the world's leading sage about film ... It's like
having the most film-literate pal you can imagine sitting beside
you in a multiplex
*Independent*
This book sets the bar. There isn't a more intelligent, insightful
and provocative guide to individual movies in the world
*Financial Times*
A dazzlingly authoritative treat ... crammed with insight and
epigram
*Observer*
Eccentric, brilliant, scholarly, perverse, witty, egocentric and
infuriating, sometimes all at once
*Time Out*
A treasure trove for film buffs ... there is probably no finer
contemporary writer on what makes the movies so unmissable
*Herald*
