Reviews

'This is an important book which helps us better understand a key political and cultural phenomena - Hollywood films. The book is engaging, packed with insights, and helps us understand film as 'political objects'. The authors remind us that we have to critically think about films as diverse as Avatar, Mama Mia! and Bride Wars, and see them not just as cultural artefacts; but as a wider part of reinforcing and sustaining wider power relations. This is a book that finely judges the balance between levity and gravity - it's a book with a serious project at this core, but never loses sight of the passion and excitement of cinema-going.' Rob Manwaring, Flinders University -- .
