David Thomson's century-long argument for cinema
A new volume from cinema's most prolific living historian lands as the industry confronts streaming's middle age. The argument is bigger than a review.

Desk note: Monexus treats Thomson's new volume as a primary critical event and frames streaming-era consolidation as a structural question, not a technological one. Coverage leans on The Guardian's 20 July 2026 review as the publication's main wire anchor; later reviews from other outlets will be folded in once they file.
