"You
may not always agree with Noel Vera’s trenchant views on
the art and craft of filmmaking - and I must confess that we don’t
have the same pantheon of film heroes - but you have to grant
that his reviews are always eminently readable. The insights are
enlightening, the scholarship is reliable, and the humor is wry
and dry."

and journalist,
