Editorial Reviews

William Friedkin: Interviews is an enjoyable recapitulation of two of Friedkin's most beloved films as well as two of his most contentious offerings.--Nicholas Bell "IONCINEMA"

This book is a must-read for fans of The Exorcist, but also Friedkin's other films, especially Sorcerer, Cruising, and The French Connection, which come up again and again. William Friedkin: Interviews is a fascinating look into the way this brilliant filmmaker thinks.--Ryan C. Bradley "wickedhorror.com"
