"A good intro to film studies, not always the most engaging, but there was enough content that we moved on quickly from less interesting films/topics. Prof. Guilford lectures in a way that ends up being him talking a lot, but that's not always a bad thing, he has good things to say and oftentimes you will understand concepts and readings significantly better. "

"I felt very neutral about this course. I think I learned things, but I was never blown away by the content nor how it was approached. The essay feedback was good though. "
