The role of film critics in the digital age
David Stratton and Margaret Pomeranz discuss the role of film critics in the digital age – a time when everybody thinks they can be online critics and audiences multi-task while watching movies – and whether they ever walk out of bad movies they have to review.
Last week at the Adelaide Film Festival, the At the Movies hosts also discussed the criteria they use to review films. Is there a universal benchmark with which to measure a film’s achievement? Can you tell in the first thirty seconds that the director has no idea what he/she is doing?
Part two of this session will be published tomorrow.
