Wood asks crisp, pointed, well-focused questions while simultaneously building a conversational relationship with the person being interviewed. The remarkable assemblage of filmmakers who comprise his cast of characters represent just about every point along the spectrum of serious screen art today, and every one of them has ideas, opinions, and experiences that deserve the attention of everyone who cares about the troubled present and uncertain future of worthwhile cinema. -- David Sterritt, chair, National Society of Film Critics
