"In Films for All Seasons, Abby Olcese brings a sense of playfulness and thoughtfulness to the act of moviegoing through the lens of the Christian liturgical year. She makes the case for a connection between careful Bible study and what she refers to as a 'spiritually curious' approach to engaging with art and the world. In so doing, she provides a valuable resource for anyone who wants to apply their faith to other parts of their lives. Her approach to watching films has enriched my own."

"Abby Olcese has given us an invaluable gift: a book in which keen film insights and rich spiritual wisdom seem to flow to and from each other, feeding each other. It's more than just a terrific tool for anyone looking to use movies to enhance their understanding of Christianity. It's a life-changing study in using art to illuminate the steps of your spiritual journey."

"This is a thoughtful and entertaining book about how popular culture can help readers connect to their faith in a fresh way. Abby Olcese thinks deeply and personally about movies that range from art films and classic cinema to action-packed blockbusters; and her insights and questions should spark some good conversations about the stories and rituals we keep coming back to year after year."
