These are all minor and mentioned more in passing, I can only remember one going into more detail than I would have liked. Protect your heart when reading. 🫶🏻cheye13's review against another edition

The essays read easily as narrative and/or memoir rather than dry academic papers. There is film analysis (good, relevant interpretations of subject matter) but always in conversation with personal (and often highly specific) voice and experience. A couple essays flopped for me, but the collection is edited and composed very well.

Most content warnings are from descriptions of film scenes, but many essays narrate similar personal experiences to the films they're about, so be mindful going into each essay of which film it's discussing.ripxreads's review against another edition
