Shit, Actually: The Definitive, 100% Objective Guide To Modern Cinema

"In 2013, humorist and culture critic Lindy West wrote an essay on Jezebel in which she hilariously eviscerated the movie Love Actually. (The movie’s message, she argues, is that the more a woman speaks, the less lovable she is.) The essay served as the genesis for this book, wherein West revisits 23 classic movies – from Titanic to Forrest Gump – to see how they hold up to modern sensibilities. If you miss going to the movies these days, I highly recommend Shit, Actually to re-create the joy of movie nerds picking apart a film as soon as the credits roll and the lights come up."
