"This revised edition adds new material and emphasis on television and streaming shows but remains a solid and impressive introduction and compendium of critical and theoretical concepts for analyzing films, television, and assorted media forms. The text contains a remarkable number of conceptual frameworks and history of those frameworks and methods, and all in a highly readable form. The book’s key strength is its modeling of ideas and examples of analysis with openness and nuance. It remains easily scalable and adaptable to a variety of introductory and intermediate courses in film/media criticism."Rick Worland, Southern Methodist University
