Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Capturing the Culture
Richard Grenier · 1991
72/100
👍 Worth It
Grenier writes sharp, well-read film criticism from a firmly conservative point of view, taking on Hollywood's takes on Gandhi, feminism, and Communism with real historical range. You'll get provoked whether you agree with him or not — this is opinion journalism with a strong point of view, not neutral reporting, and worth it if that's what you're looking for.
