Reviews

Dana Polan is a master-builder of film criticism...[Polan] riffs on...The LEGO Movie with the speed, wit, dexterity, and precision of Wyldstyle, building new arguments by dissembling and reassembling one part of the film after another. It's a dazzling performance, as fast-paced and all-over-the-place as his subject--zigging-zagging this way and that--and comes together in one analytical set-piece after another.-- PopMatters, The Best Books of 2020: Non-Fiction (12/11/2020 12:00:00 AM)
