A review by sjwilliams
Murder and the Movies by David Thomson

2.0

I can tell that "Murder and the Movies" was written by somebody with interesting thoughts but this book unfortunately offers little depth on the broad topics it covers. Thomson jumps from film synopsis to political commentary to memoir throughout the book and doesn't linger on any one topic long enough to say anything particularly convincing. I'd be interested to see how the author would handle a narrower topic of discussion, as this book is well-written despite its other faults. Thanks to NetGalley for providing an advance copy for review.
