About this title

About the Author:

Tom Shone is the film critic for the Guardian US and the Economist’s Intelligent Life magazine. He has written for Slate, the New Yorker, and the Sunday Times. He is the author of Blockbuster, In the Rooms, and Martin Scorsese: A Retrospective (Abrams, 2014). He currently teaches film history and criticism at NYU and lives in New York City.

"Is there anyone now writing about movies better than Tom Shone? I think not.”
—John Heilemann, New York Magazine
 
“Shone is admired on both sides of the Atlantic as a writer with a deep love of the movies and one of the sharpest voices in arts journalism.... Witty and wise, all the way from Spielberg to Linklater”
—Tim de Lisle, Intelligent Life
 
"The world's finest film critic."
—The Toronto Star

Review:

“... Shone’s prose has a beauty of its own, abounding in nonchalantly exquisite turns of phrase: I especially love his description of actress Dianne Wiest’s face as “[seeming] always to photograph in soft focus”. Allen may not read criticism, but the writer in him would surely approve.’”
(The Guardian)
