Reviews for Intersecting Film, Music, and Queerness
I recommend Dubowsky's text as a useful starting place for someone who wishes to investigate queer film studies or film music, or who is establishing a bibliography towards these fields. The book would find frequent use in an institutional library. (C.J. Komp, Society for American Music, american-music.org, 2018)
