Reviews for The World in a Frame
"An exciting, entertaining exploration of films.... [Braudy] attempts to understand rather than promulgate rules and categories, and somehow to keep the criteria of enjoyment in some meaningful connection with the criteria of judgment." - Robert Kirsch, Los Angeles Times
