Trade Review
"A detailed and insightful study of the work of the pioneering documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles."--Screening The Past "Detailed, insightful readings of individual films and overall assessment of Maysles' career welcomely emphasize aesthetic aspects, and a revealing interview with Maysles . . . concludes."--Booklist
"McElhaney's biography runs like a classic Maysles brother film, sticking to the facts, letting personal back story slip in here and there, and presenting an end-of-the-book Q&A as a sort of DVD commentary track."--Los Angeles Times
“Joe McElhaney makes a persuasive case that [Albert Maysles] belongs among the likes of Joel and Ethan Coen, Roman Polanski and Neil Jordan.”--PopMatters
