  1. Naveen Kumar

    Some good points, but at times the book felt a little pretentious and disconnected from the average movie-goer’s experience. I expected more.

  2. Harshad Bromania

    This book has revitalized my love of cinema. Peterson’s analyses of classic movies are both illuminating and inspiring. I will read again.

  3. Gouri Raj

    Wonderful collection! So much to unpack. The exploration of visual storytelling was the highlight of the book. Peterson’s writing is sharp.

  4. Raunak Banerjee

    The writing style is a bit academic and not as accessible as I had hoped. Though interesting topics, the tone was a barrier at times.

  5. Syed Muneeb Ali

    I enjoyed the diverse range of films discussed in this book. However, I found myself disagreeing with some of the author’s interpretations. Still, it’s a worthwhile read.

  6. Yash Namdeo Pise

    Enjoyable but a little uneven. Some essays were captivating, while others were a slog. Still worth checking out for cinema enthusiasts.

  7. Nakul Awasthi

    While insightful, I wish there were more discussion on contemporary films. It leans heavily on older works. Good but not perfect for my taste.

  8. Prasoon Kumar

    Peterson’s writing is engaging and informative. This book deepened my appreciation for film. A must-read for anyone serious about cinema studies.

  9. Sonal Kumar

    A fascinating collection of essays on cinema. Peterson’s insights are thought-provoking, although some essays felt a bit dense. Overall, a good read for film buffs.

  10. Namya Dayal

    An excellent book for understanding the nuances of filmmaking. Peterson’s passion for cinema shines through every page. A great gift for film lovers.

  11. Archana Sebastian

    A great exploration of cinema history and technique! I learned so much and will definitely be revisiting some classic films. Highly recommended!
