I'm a completist, sorry.  I'd say, though, go w/ the more respectable
sources 1st, or even just the longer reviews (just read that Times
Higher Education one, for example; the NYRB one from a while back
comes to mind; that recent Marxist one from the World Socialist Web
Site is interesting; P-Lister's Tara Brady's from The Irish Times will
be of particular interest here; u. s. w., et soforthiam ...).

I just can't sort out what any given person might be interested in
here, esp. the ones I don't know so well (i often BCC posts to the
ones I do).  There's plenty of stuff I don't read, or don;t find
(immediately, @ least) interesting, but @ least it's all in the
archive for posterity.

And keep in mind, this is just the stuff I come across, and in
English.  Wait'll the film hits the continent ...
