Critic Reviews
-
Mark Feeney, Boston Globe
It's wildly ambitious, often extremely good, occasionally maddening, and always stimulating.
-
John Semley, Slant Magazine
Essential viewing, if not for only for its edutainment factor, but for the dynamism and felt resonance of its maker's bounding enthusiasms.
-
Shawn Levy, Oregonian
Like Martin Scorsese's "A Personal Journey Through American Cinema" and "My Voyage to Italy," it's a tour through a museum with a deeply passionate and engaging guide.
-
Charlie Lyne, Ultra Culture
One of the most staggeringly comprehensive cinematic histories ever told.
