### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    First Great Book on PTA
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2020*

Brilliantly written, lusciously photographed, itself a beautiful object to hold and own. The only non-academic great book on Anderson's movies. If you love film, cultural criticism, or coffee table books, you'll cherish this.The writing itself is inconsistent. Sometimes the author makes complex and powerful arguments, other times he fails to see something obvious in the movie (e.g. satire) then criticizes the film for his perceived lack of it. Sometimes his sentences are elegant, other times riddled with typos. Still a masterpiece of a book, but a flawed one.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    At least it looks good
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2021*

Was really excited to find out a quality book looking into the films of PTA was on the horizon.  Sure there's a great, definitive examination to be done on PTA, but this isn't it.  One reviewer claim of this being "the only non-academic great book on Anderson's movies" is a little baffling.  I don't know what book they read, but what I got through is all dry, academic, 25-cent word analysis that is a slog to read (not to mention rife with typos & errors -- apparently Abramsbooks doesn't have a thorough editor).  There's no fresh insight or commentary from Anderson himself (his quotes are pulled from outside published interviews) just suppositions Nayman makes on readings that at best are stuffy lecture-hall monologues & at worse contract themselves.  He sets a novel structure of discussing the films in their narrative chronological order yet leaves PHANTOM THREAD for last, for reasons that are still murky by book's end.  He chastises MAGNOLIA for cutting a plot thread focused the African-American characters, while scolding the film for being too overly-ambitious & long.  The book does have its bright spots.  It's a handsome coffee table read & the interviews with actual PTA collaborators are enlightening, if a little slim, but the disappointment in the majority of the book's content makes it fall way short for such a rich filmmaker (doesn't help when compared to the recently released THE NOLAN VARIATIONS - a book of similar ambition/style but way more illuminating into its subject).Shame in that he's apparently forthcoming with a book on David Fincher, which I would normally buy sight unseen, but having gone through this book (and looking into the Fincher book, the structure/format looks to be a Xerox of what he did in MASTERWORKS), think I'll pass.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    One of the best critics currently working
  

*by M***D on Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2020*

Must read for fans of PTA, and wonderfully illustrated in addition  to the incisive critical essays and interview material with Anderson’s collaborators.
