"Of all the arts, movies are the most powerful aid to empathy, and good ones make us into better people. Not many of them are very good, however."
Ebert was the first film critic to win the Pulitzer Prize and his work occupied a necessary space between the intellectual scholarship of someone like Pauline Kael and the populism of say Leonard Maltin — a place much in evidence in these essays.
