"On the Affective Force of "Nasty Love", Eliza Steinbock had written

and gender expression, and three parts steamy, intimate, creative
sex." Discussing the filmic work of Diamond, Bobby Noble outlined the
reoccurring themes present in his work. "Diamond's work is interesting
not only for its depictions of social and sexual bodies, but also for
the way those bodies are located in historical geographies that have
been naturalized into contemporary social space."
