This style of filmmaking was met with mixed reactions. In a review of Hammer's films "Women I Love" (1976) and "Double Strength" (1978), critic Andrea Weiss noted, "It's become fashionable for women's bodies to be represented by pieces of fruit," and criticized Hammer for "adopting the masculine romanticized view of women.". According to Michael Schell "her relentless pursuit of an artistic vision, informed by the American tradition of experimental cinema, whose integrity was "personal", not simply political, can pose a challenge to the assumptions of both sub- and mainstream cultures".
