Recensioner i media

"Violent men in film are usually received without comment, whereas violent women are suspect and thus the victims of a double standard. ... they are some of the most important works currently being created, and they deserve a wider audience. This thoughtful, well-written book gives them the deft and detailed consideration due them. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." (G. A. Foster, Choice, Vol. 54 (2), October, 2016)
