Seidelman’s new memoir is a primer for being true to your art without losing your integrity, even within the rigid, winner-takes-all culture of Hollywood.
A lively jaunt ... Interwoven with fascinating behind-the-scenes detail, Seidelman vividly traces the evolution of her artistic vision, combining the strong, feisty heroines of classic screwball comedies with the playful, postmodern spirit of New Wave film. It’s an enthralling look at a trailblazing filmmaker’s perseverance and vision.
The author immediately displays an appealing vulnerability ... She displays sharp humor and wit throughout tales of her life in the film industry ... The author delivers an unguarded portrait of her life, telling it her way.
