Reviews

"Given their career-long back-and-forth, this collection makes perfect sense.... In these reconsiderations, Ebert invites us into his thought processes, letting us see not just what he thinks, but how he forms his opinions. Ebert's insights into Scorsese are terrific, but this book offers the bonus of further insights into Ebert himself." - Time Out Chicago "Ebert, film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times, is an unabashed fan of Scorsese, whom he considers 'the most gifted director of his generation.'... Of special note are interviews with Scorsese over a twenty-five-year period, in which the director candidly discusses his body of work." - Publishers Weekly "A film-by-film chronicling of the professional, yet passionate, Ebert-Scorsese relationship.... A work of obvious affection, even adoration, what might surprise readers most is how Scorsese by Ebert emerges as a work of profound identification." - Time"
