You've been to the movies or watched a video, but how much did you really see? Watching will make you think about how much you really saw last time around and will inspire you to a fresh viewing armed with the insights offered by journalist and critic Sutcliffe. He draws on examples from a variety of genres to explore film under six broad topics (providing a focus but not a straitjacket), including beginnings, the use of the freeze frame and the potency of what is not revealed on-screen. Sutcliffe writes easily, concentrating on emotions rather than theory, in a tone that gives the impression of a friendly but knowledgeable companion anxious for you not to miss out. He may not be able to accompany you in person but reading his book is the next best thing. (Kirkus UK)
