This is an excellent book for expanding the average high school English student's range to film critique. It contains all of what I try to teach my students about how to critique film, and more. The writing is pleasant and clear, without inflection, pandering, or academic jargon.
A college or top-notch high school student should be able to tear through the book in about two hours--it is straightforward but verbose, and a 20 page version would have sufficed for good students.

Lol probably great if you're taking a class on film for the first time, maybe not so much if you have a degree in film. Lots of it feels like it was written ten years ago and then updated a bit, but it still a bit outdated.
Helpful as a jumping-off point! I will probably reference the glossary again which is pretty comprehensive, but if you've already written more than a couple of papers on film, this really isn't going to be that helpful.

Good read to get an in-depth look into how to analyze movies. I probably would not have read it if it wasn't a class requirement, but as far as required books go, it wasn't bad. I would probably read it again as a reference in the future if I needed to.
