"Really struggling with this book tbh. I realize it is a dense academic text but I've read better academic texts with a more clearly communicated thesis to explore. The author spends barely a paragraph explaining her selection of movies (which doesn't seem to follow a clear logical thread). A lot of repetition also. Could have been more interesting if it was structured better." — Jul 02, 2025 10:45AM
