Mike’s Reviews > L.A. Confidential > Status Update

I’ve been evangelical about Manohla Dargis since reading her film reviews in the early 90s in the LA Weekly, so I’ll come as no surprise that her in depth, insightful writing in this slim volume was extremely engaging. I’m more of an Elroy fan than a Hanson fan (I mean, who isn’t?), but this made me more interested in him, and did what some other BFI books haven’t done: made me want to see the film again.
