"Max Evry's A Masterpiece in Disarray: David Lynch's Dune spills the spice from this cult fave." - Mashable
"The definitive guide to David Lynch's Dune movie, with a wealth of new interviews." - DuneNewsNet
"Making-of books are often not much more than glorified press notes, studio-sanctioned marketing beats that don't come close to telling the real story of what happened behind the scenes. But every once in a while, a no-holds-barred account still surfaces. And that's where the new book about David Lynch's Dune comes in, which at 560 pages seemingly has the scoop on everything that went into making the infamous sci-fi spectacle." - IGN
"Five stars. This hefty volume looks at the film in granular detail... It's hard to imagine a more definitive examination of such a singular and strange film." - SFX
"The (fittingly behemothian) oral history of David Lynch's doomed 1984 Dune. It's hugely enjoyable to sift through the sands of this comprehensive chronicle. 4/4 stars." - Empire
"This is a book to be cherished, and one that is likely the definitive account of the making of a poorly-treated film." - The Film Stage
"A Masterpiece in Disarray is the comprehensive account of David Lynch's Dune. Max Evry's expansive oral history captures the film's chaotic production with commentary from key talent. Through their stories and the author's own appreciation for the film's quirks and eccentricities, Disarray makes the case for why we shouldn't fear 1984's Dune. After all, fear is the mind-killer." - Yahoo
"For aspiring filmmakers and casual fans alike, it's a fascinating look at the chaos that often goes hand in hand with creative genius." - The A.V. Club
"Disarray is an accounting of one of the wildest boondoggles ever committed to celluloid. The finished product was a legendary mess of a picture that threatened to undermine the director's career before it had achieved liftoff, but the behind-the-camera story is a pleasure to follow: Mr. Evry delivers the spoiled goods with aplomb." - The Wall Street Journal
"There are a slew of great new books about movies and television this fall, but there might not be a better looking book (or a more comprehensive one) than A Masterpiece in Disarray. This 560-page epic explores the creation of Lynch's Dune from innumerable angles; it's hard to imagine any fan wanting more than is contained in this very handsome hardcover." - Screen Crush
