A review by thebreas
Down and Dirty Pictures: Miramax, Sundance, and the Rise of Independent Film by Peter Biskind

informative slow-paced

2.5

Incredibly well-researched, Biskin definitely deserves credit for that, but the constant barrage of facts ultimately leads this meandering work further astray. The Sundance/Redford sections don’t add much to the story. The Weinstein bits, while interesting, become yawny after the hundredth story of one of his tirades. This book could have easily been 300~ pages and much more enjoyable.
