What Is Neorealism? is a representative critical bibliography of writings (in English) on Italian cinematic neorealism. Like most "isms," neorealism is a nebulous term; this is the first attempt to record and compare the many, sometimes contradictory, definitions of it put forward by filmmakers, critics, and historians. An up-to-date bibliography of historical and critical writings in English on Italian cinematic neorealism, plus a chronology, with credits, of the films of Italian neorealism, including the precursors of the movement, is included.

Cardullo's assessments are knowledgeable and pointed. As such they will be useful to others studying the historiography of neorealism. Recommended for academic libraries that support upper-level undergraduate and graduate programs in film.
