lovelyoutliers's review against another edition

funny lighthearted medium-paced

3.5

I am not a film-buff by any measure, so wasnt sure I would like this collection of essays describing popular films over the last 30 years. However, with Lindy West's cutting and pithy style, her analysis and critique of even the movies that I have not watched / probably watched but have no memory of, was fun and clever. Enjoyed the light-hearted read.

2.0

This book feels like every meme "hot take" I've read in the last 10 years, but longer and worse.

Premise sounded great, but the recaps were rambling and skipping ahead to movies I knew well did not improve matters. I read 2.5 chapters and bailed.
