Reviews
"A spellbinding journey through the cinema of the 80s and its remarkable female protagonists as seen through the eyes of a mother and son. Leslie, the New England working woman and mother who instilled a passion for movies in her child, is no less remarkable in her way than the heroines of Working Girl, 9 to 5, Aliens, or The Fabulous Baker Boys. Superb evaluations of the films lead seamlessly into portraits of family life, reflections on loss and secret yearnings, that are a testimonial to the way films nourish and connect us."--Molly Haskell, author of Frankly My Dear: "Gone With the Wind" Revisited "Films of Endearment is a masterful blend of memoir and movie appreciation. Through their shared language of 80s film, a son seeks to unlock the backstory of his number one leading lady - his mom. A much needed tribute to the strong female characters on screen and in our homes, whose love and badassery shape the people we become."--Meredith May, author of The Honey Bus: A Memoir of Loss, Courage and a Girl Saved by Bees "Michael Koresky brings us on a nostalgic, incisive, and deeply moving journey through the films of the 1980s, a decade when unlikely leading ladies delivered performances of a lifetime. Koresky's mother gets top billing above Jane Fonda, Sigourney Weaver, and Shirley MacLaine, and deservedly so: A force in her own right, she is the unsung hero from whom he inherited a life-altering love of movies. Written with clear eyes and compassion, this book is film criticism at its finest and most personal."--Erin Carlson, author of Queen Meryl: The Iconic Roles, Heroic Deeds, and Legendary Life of Meryl Streep

Synopsis
An Esquire Best Book About Hollywood A USA TODAY Best Book of 2021 "A lovely and loving book."--Will Schwalbe, New York Times bestselling author of The End of Your Life Book Club "I'm not sure I have ever read a book about movies that is as tender and open-hearted as Films of Endearment."--Mark Harris, New York Times bestselling author of Mike Nichols: A Life A poignant memoir of family, grief and resilience about a young man, his dynamic mother and the '80s movies they shared together Michael Koresky's most formative memories were simple ones. A movie rental. A mug of tea. And a few shared hours with his mother. Years later and now a successful film critic, Koresky set out on a journey with his mother to discover more about their shared cinematic past. They rewatched ten films that she first introduced to him as a child, one from every year of the '80s, each featuring women leads. Together, films as divergent as 9 to 5, Terms of Endearment, The Color Purple and Aliens form the story of an era that Koresky argues should rightly be called "The Decade of the Actress." Films of Endearment is a reappraisal of the most important and popular female-driven films of that time, a profound meditation on loss and resilience, and a celebration of the special bond between mothers and their sons., An Esquire Best Book About Hollywood A USA TODAY Best Book of 2021 "A lovely and loving book."--Will Schwalbe, New York Times bestselling author of The End of Your Life Book Club "I'm not sure I have ever read a book about movies that is as tender and open-hearted as Films of Endearment ."--Mark Harris, New York Times bestselling author of Mike Nichols: A Life A poignant memoir of family, grief and resilience about a young man, his dynamic mother and the '80s movies they shared together Michael Koresky's most formative memories were simple ones.
