Review Quotes




Dawn Hall's study of Kelly Reichardt, one of the greatest contemporary American independent directors, is most warmly welcome. Eminently readable and teachable, with a wealth of useful information on each film's production, distribution and reception, Hall's survey is sure to make you want to see and re-see, and to see more of, Reichardt's richly rewarding films.--Professor Christine Holmlund, University of Tennessee-Knoxville

Structured wonderfully and in a way that makes the chronological flow feel less rigid and more natural, The Films Of Kelly Reichardt is a thrilling and deeply important (and incredibly easy to read and fly right on through) meditation on a filmmaker whose import will be felt for years and generations to come.--Joshua Brunsting "CriterionCast"
