Critical reception
Through A Screen Darkly earned a "Starred Review" from Publishers Weekly.[4] Filmmaker Darren Aronofsky has said of the book that it is "Inspirational ... sometimes all of us forget that love for movies, that internal spark inside us that movies lit, and your book is going to remind many of us about it."[5]
