Interesting book which reads very academic at times. The author in the middle delves into a lot of art history and assumed you’re aware of the context and history of some of the figures in the book.
Surprising to see the book develop into comments on motherhood, and authors own journey with alcohol. Ultimately I think this part could’ve been expanded (and the middle shortened) to create more of a narrative non fiction/memoir style book rather than one which read like a thesis.
Good and interesting ideas though, and a few sections which really made me stop and think!

a nuanced view on love, feminism, monstrosity and cancel culture
however a bit too obvious when you think about the problems not from inside popular culture but from the point of view of common sense

didn’t realise this book was part memoir and was expecting more thought out arguments on the issue. I’m also not a film person and as the author is a previous film critic, a lot of the examples she uses are of films I know little about.
I LOVED this book. the author brings up question that just make you look harder at your own tendencies to chose justice or pleasure through the media you consume. If you are struggling with consuming art made by a beloved creator that has done something harmful I cannot recommend this book more!
