Review Quotes




"Abby Olcese has given us an invaluable gift: a book in which keen film insights and rich spiritual wisdom seem to flow to and from each other, feeding each other. It's more than just a terrific tool for anyone looking to use movies to enhance their understanding of Christianity. It's a life-changing study in using art to illuminate the steps of your spiritual journey."



"In Films for All Seasons, Abby Olcese brings a sense of playfulness and thoughtfulness to the act of moviegoing through the lens of the Christian liturgical year. She makes the case for a connection between careful Bible study and what she refers to as a 'spiritually curious' approach to engaging with art and the world. In so doing, she provides a valuable resource for anyone who wants to apply their faith to other parts of their lives. Her approach to watching films has enriched my own."



"This is a thoughtful and entertaining book about how popular culture can help readers connect to their faith in a fresh way. Abby Olcese thinks deeply and personally about movies that range from art films and classic cinema to action-packed blockbusters; and her insights and questions should spark some good conversations about the stories and rituals we keep coming back to year after year."
