"Lipman provides a much-needed meta-analysis of the film-preservation discipline in 2025, outlining a series of questions about the nature of archives, the ephemerality of cultural objects, and the history of cinematic technology."

"The book is witty, minutely detailed, and braced by common sense — a welcome gift in an often obsessive environment. If you have any interest in the collision of old and new, in any field of endeavor—architecture, archeology, sexuality, table manners—I recommend a particular chapter of Lipman’s book, ‘The Gray Zone.’ Lipman is graced with a talent to enthuse." — Anthony Lane, The New Yorker
