A review by msteinfeld
Dying of Politeness by Geena Davis

4.0

Great account of her major career moments and life milestones, told through the (very effective) lens if learning to care about how other feel less and how she feels more. I thought that journey was the most interesting and relatable anyway. There are honest accounts of her career experiences, and about her personal journey and emotional development, but she doesn’t delve deeply into any personal relationships/marriages/children. I didn’t feel like that was a missing piece though; instead it was a clearly defined boundary of what she was and wasn’t willing to share. The development of her career in recent years was particularly interesting, I had no idea about the work she was doing, and it’s amazing!
