It's Only a Movie: Reel Life Adventures of a Film Obsessive by Mark Kermode

3.0

I know this is meant to be an autobiography of sorts - an account of how his love of film started - but I really would have liked less anecdotes (entertaining though they were) and more insight into the practice of film criticism as a whole (why do it? why does he think it's important? what can it achieve? what are its limitations? etc etc etc - these questions are never addressed).
