[A] concise book. . . . Exposing Vulnerability marks an important and timely contribution to the study of Nordic media, particularly given the continual underrepresentation of women in the directing and screenwriting professions. Each case study's narrative speaks to broader themes. . . . [and] brings with it markedly different discussion points, techniques, and concepts. The depth of Dancus' research and knowledge is apparent as the book progresses. . . . It is a rewarding book that exposes the reader to films they may otherwise never discover and is a valuable resource for researchers in sociology, anthropology, gender studies, and cultural studies. --Djuna Hallsworth Nordicom Reviews

'Exposing Vulnerability is typical of Dancus's creative capacity to bring a diverse collection of theoretical approaches into conversation with an intriguing archive of films. It is inspiring work. The strength of a book like this, which seeks to pull so many different stands of scholarship together, lies in the questions it raises. [...] I'm grateful for the thoughtful risks that Exposing Vulnerability does take, as I anticipate that they will push the field forward in provocative new directions.' -- Amanda Doxtater, Scandinavian Studies
