Time Out *****
Geniuenly democratic, honest in its broad perspective, and unusually technically aware, this is the definitive history of cinema's first century and a bit. - Andrew Lowry

This Superb piece of work concludes that "the future of cinema is in provacative hands". And with brilliant, passionate archivists like Cousins working in the field, we may also surmise that the future of film criticism is too. - Ali Catterall
