Reviews
"A top-flight nonfiction debut from a unique artist." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Brilliant and passionate . . . . Tarantino's joy, generosity, and singular point of view bolster his arguments, and even when he's taking down his heroes, it's out of love . . . . Whip-smart and obsessive, Tarantino is great fun and tough to beat." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review "Tarantino brings the heat and exuberance of his movie expertise, storytelling artistry, and sharp humor to a dynamic mix of eyebrow-raising personal stories, zesty film history, and kickass film criticism . . . . Offers sizzling behind the production tales and exacting, speculative critiques . . . . [A] rollicking cinematic celebration." -- Donna Seaman, Booklist, starred review, "A top-flight nonfiction debut from a unique artist." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Brilliant and passionate . . . .

Like the experienced fictioneer that he is, Tarantino creates images and stories and scenes, tells tales that entice and bewitch even as they invite the same sort of criticism that his movies do. Above all, Cinema Speculation is a vision, in motion, of a Hollywood-centric mind." -- Richard Brody, The New Yorker, "Cinema Speculation is consistently engaging; with its zinging and zipping observations, its casual opinion-flinging, and its sharp-edged divisions of personalities and eras, it seems designed to arouse fruitful arguments.

Tarantino knows what he likes, and he engages the reader with ease...An opinionated, compulsively readable appreciation of the grimy, generally lurid movies of his '70s youth." -- San Francisco Chronicle "A top-flight nonfiction debut from a unique artist." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review "Brilliant and passionate . . . .
