“Ultimately, Out Takes is important for two reasons. First, it demonstrates the potential of using queer theory for a radical re-reading of identity and subjectivity. . . . Second, the readings in this anthology have larger political implications. Could we not apply the same type of reading to the homophobic speeches of Newt Gingrich or the homosexual panic that underlies the right wing’s concern with political correctness on college campuses? . . . Out Takes helps further our understanding that ‘queerness’ lies not on the margins of our society at all, but instead is inextricably bound with every aspect of it.”—New Art Examiner

“Taking a fresh look at significant gay films . . . Out Takes challenges readers to consider provocative issues about gay identity and sexuality that are now at the forefront of academic debate.”—Filmbill

“[W]ell designed, readable and illustrated with frame enlargements. The contributions retain the best aspects of queer theory's appealing revision of the past, revealing examination of the present and weather eye on the future. The volume is also welcome in that it is not purely located in the labyrinthine psychoanalytic underworld where much similar work tends to be found, and many of the contributions retain the sense of humour that is happily part of much of queer theory's style.”—Mark Brownrigg, Scope

"[Hanson] makes important interventions in film studies while working to open up dialogue across a number of discourses. . . . [T]he essays in OutTakes . . . [offer] rigorous and nuanced discussions of classic cinema, challenging earlier conceptions of homoeroticism in mainstreaming representations."—Sue Scheibler, Signs
