    I’ve worked as a film critic, and I was shocked by other critics. They didn’t have the knowledge of cinema, directors etc to say anything meaningful other than just what they thought. The they have the film a random (seemingly) star rating or dice toss.

        Local and national newspapers here in Norway, and as a freelancer for various cinema magazines in the Nordics. I got a master’s degree in film studies. Didn’t pay much, though

      I quite like Mark Kermode because he’s a film historian as well as a critic. I don’t always agree with him but every review he harkens back to the director or actor’s previous catalogue and I can get an entertaining perspective on his view.
