Industry Reviews

"This is recommended for film studies and for humanities collections." (Reference Reviews, 1 September 2015)

"The twenty-eight essays in this collection represent a landmark in noir criticism. Written by some of the most accomplished veterans in the field, as well as many new and promising voices, these essays are both deeply engaged with previously contested critical territory and agressively turned toward undiscovered and untilled terrain ... This is a collection that will be studied, cited, and, as with all of the most influential film noir criticism, contested for many years to come." (Wide Angle, 1 March 2014)
