Good overview of the filmmaking process. Some of the studio stuff felt a bit repetitive. Overall, worth the time.

Lumet’s insights are invaluable. The directing advice is top-notch. Some technical aspects are outdated, but overall a must-read. I particularly liked his views on casting.

Informative, but a bit dense. It felt like a textbook at times. Still, some great insights into the director’s process.

A classic for a reason! Lumet is a master storyteller, both on and off the screen. Highly recommended. Loved how he balances art and commerce.

Interesting perspective from a seasoned director. Some of the information is outdated but the core principles remain relevant. Not for casual movie watchers.
Rachagorla Naveen Kumar –
A solid guide to filmmaking, although it can get bogged down in details. Lumet’s passion is evident, making it a worthwhile, if occasionally tedious, read.
Sarvjeet Singh Lalana –
It was alright. I expected more juicy stories from his sets. It focuses more on technical aspects, less on the behind-the-scenes drama.
Vishal Sinha –
Absolutely brilliant! Lumet’s passion for filmmaking is infectious. A must-read for anyone serious about movies. Should be required reading in film schools. A bit verbose though.
Manisha Kumari Gobind Prajapati –
I learned a lot about the nuts and bolts of making a movie. Lumet doesn’t hold back. A bit too technical at times, but overall a great read!
Kislay Kumar –
A fascinating peek behind the curtain! Lumet’s experience shines through. Though a bit dated, the core wisdom is timeless. Definitely worth a read for aspiring filmmakers.
Sumit Kumar –
Excellent resource for aspiring directors. Lumet shares practical advice and valuable lessons. A bit long winded at times.
Nilesh Kumar –
An okay read. Lumet knows his stuff, but the writing is a little dry. I wish there were more anecdotes about the actors he worked with.
