Quote about Anna Nicole

"Questioning the cultural impulse to denigrate female celebrities who make spectacles of themselves, [Mary] Harron's portrayal of [Anna Nicole] Smith [in Anna Nicole ] draws from a reparative sympathy and a subtle but discernible feminist perspective. The result is more than a fair account of Smith's story; Harron highlights the commodity feminism implicitly animating Smith's career ambitions and places her work in a tradition in which women have represented themselves within the visual genres of sexual display as 'self-aware, assertive, strong, and independent,' as Maria Elena Buszek puts it in her study of the feminist pin-up."
-- Kimberley Lamm (source)
