I have been consistently moved, surprised and completely bowled over by yet another sensitive, beautifully observed biography of a legend of cinema. Adams ability to examine a life, it’s effect and influence on the cinematic craft is flawless. You feel all the pleasure, pain, hilarity and heartbreak. I have adored reliving the movies I have loved and been fascinated to learn their nuances, battles and genesis. Thank you for articulating the joy these works have brought and shedding light on the complex people who created them.

Another heartfelt love letter to genius.
