What people are saying

"...well written and engaging." — American Reference Books Annual

"The prose style is lively, colloquial, and clever. ... Rowell examines [the films] with greater concentration than the typically scattershot making-of ... commentary, and even announces something like an analytical framework..." — Film International

"Rowell's writing benefits from her obvious passion for the art of filmmaking; personal highlights include her discussion of love and a closeted fedora in Miller's Crossing (1990), the "fiction and fact pull" of Fargo (1996), and the subversion of war-speak in The Big Lebowski (1998)." — The Brooklyn Rail
