## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Enjoyable and changed how I saw films immediately
  

*by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2017*

I was interested in the book because I have read the author’s reviews in the “Washington Post” for years and the reviews in both the “Post” and “Time” were positive.  However, you never know how these “guides for the lay person” types of books will turn out--with them being slogs often enough.However I found “Talking Pictures well written and it added dimensions to my understanding of not only movies, but television series and to an extent literature as well. Very readable and it went quickly.  The films used to illustrate concepts were well chosen and one benefit of the book has been to see (or re-see) films recommended.One caveat: many of the descriptive passages were structured along the lines of “it could be either this or that,  or this other thing or that other thing, or this or that...it wasn’t annoying but as the book progressed it did have kind of an “ear worm” effect to it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A great primer to learn why you like what you like
  

*by D***C on Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2017*

An excellent discussion of introductory film appreciation.  The author does a very good job of making a potentially pretentious subject more accessible to those who want to explore why they like one movie more than another, without diving into which independent art house film goes best with a sense of smugness and some avocado toast.  The book is broken into the essential building blocks of the film-making process and provides a list at the end of each chapter of both classic and contemporary movies that excel at that particular element.

    And what the heck is sound editing anyway?
  

*by W***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2017*

With this book you will learn the answer to that question and many others. I love movies but I never realized just how complex it is to get the final product on the screen and get it right... until now. Great book. Well written with examples and explanations for each aspect of movies Ms Hornaday presents.  It was interesting to consider just why it is I really liked one movie but found another just kind of "meh."  Each chapter covers one of the Oscar categories and concludes with a list of 4 or 5 movies that represent best examples  of the discussed category. Want to learn how to discuss movies like a pro ? This book is a great start!
