Does this strike anyone else as easy and shallow criticism? We're supposed to be surprised that America has turned on a former child star, and that a fresh face in the scene is still unimpeachable? Low-hanging jokes like this one undermine her point too: | hipsters tossed it out faster than an empty can of ironically-quaffed Pabst
I didn't much enjoy it either. Particularly equating a title like "Pure Heroine" with "innocence." I can't see it.
It reminded me of college writing assignment where you will get a good grade for bold attempts at "rich use of language and imagery" and you are expected to try your hand at interesting comparisons and the use of metaphors and specific modes of analysis. Looking at it that way it's an A paper but I'm not really interested in 200 level English composition. Reminds me of stuff I wrote in school but I chose more fertile ground to push my bullshit around in.
