Two new reviews of Dirty Real . . . Frank Uhle has penned the one for Ugly Things and David Pitt for The Booklist. Uhle is the author of Cinema Ann Arbor, which is one of the best film books of this or any other decade, so colour me happy to read his positive take on my book. Pitt’s summary is equally pleasing:

"Stanfield is a perceptive and graceful writer; he imparts knowledge to the reader while never sounding like he is lecturing. ... While this is a period of film history that has been written about before, Stanfield's expertise and depth of knowledge make it feel like this is something we're seeing for the first time."
