Peter Bradshaw's finest film reviews--the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Peter Bradshaw is an excellent film reviewer for intelligent, curious filmgoers. He's a true journalist who has served as The Guardian's film critic for 20 years and who understands what his readers want to know. His reviews carry his deep experience, knowledge, and understanding of film lightly. Films That Made Me... allows Peter Bradshaw to share his knowledge and guidance directly with readers.

About the Author:
Peter Bradshaw is the chief film reviewer for The Guardian, joining as its film reviewer in 1999, taking over the role from Derek Malcolm.

Press Reviews:
"I can state without a shadow of a doubt - and there is not a jot of self interest here - that Peter Bradshaw is the greatest film critic of this or any other age... But seriously - agree or disagree - in this book there is wit, passion, articulacy, intelligence and above all utter belief in the overwhelming power of film. And it makes you laugh. I loved it" —Sam Mendes

"The Films That Made Me, as Bradshaw's many readers would expect, is knowledgeable, impassioned - and also very, very funny; as he would never write, we laughed out loud." —Esquire

"Peter Bradshaw is the film reviewer for intelligent, curious cinemagoers … The Films That Made Me... collates his finest reviews from the last two decades, which carry with them his deep experience, knowledge and understanding of film … a must-read for all film fanatics." —Sight & Sound
