Trade Review
Fascinating, thought-provoking work...highly recommended"—ARBA

"During his career, he has been able to exercise greater control over the content of his films than almost any other director...a master of the entire filmmaking process, including organizing and planning" —Reference & Research Book News

"Provides a very neat, brief look into some of the most iconic films of the last two decades. Parnell has gone the extra mile than most film fans though and there are some fascinating insights into each film" —Filmwerk
