"[Sikov] has produced one of the most comprehensive and accessible texts of its type and it is likely to become a staple for introductory film studies curricula." — Metapsychology

"Film Studies: An Introduction offers the clearest and most concise introduction to the field." — PLAYBACK

"Ed Sikov is undeniably brilliant at explaining things—his style is unusually lucid." — Robert Lang, University of Hartford

"Ed Sikov has written a film book that is both user friendly and genuinely helpful to anyone who is starting out in learning how to 'read' films. He explains in good, clear, and often witty language the basics of film analysis. His book bristles with helpful information and prose that allows information to be ingested painlessly—in fact pleasurably—by the student." — John Simons, Colorado College
