Title: The best critical book in English on Cassavetes
Review: The shocking intolerance and hysteria of "idiephile"'s review demands a response. Comparing the writing of Ray Carney to ice cream and the writing of Kouvaros to ground glass is cheap-shot sloganeering and advertising, not criticism of any kind. In fact, the prose of Kouvaros is lucid and pleasurable, and what he has to say about Cassavetes is thoughtful and unpredictable. What a strident anti-intellectual like Cassavetes might have thought about any book written about him, especially an academic one, is irrelevant.
Is the review positive or negative?
