thank you to this article - episodes.ghost.io/art-critic… - for sharing this succinct description of what good movie criticism should be.
27 Jul 2023
Here are some of my main assumptions as a critic. They’re not always *right*, but I find they’re a good place to begin.
(1) You’re not smarter than the movie.
(2) The fact you identified what the movie is doing does not mean it’s bad.
(3) Take the movie first on its own terms.

I made a 20-minute podcast with old friend James Hand about our surprisingly eventful 1991 school trip to Normandy. As it's my birthday you are obliged to indulge me by listening to it or just reading it, I guess, but the audio version is better.
