Review of For the Love of Movies: The Story of American Film Criticism (2009) by Ryan L — 10 Oct 2009

Quite the interesting documentary with a lot of great information on the emergence and evolution of film criticism within our culture. It is a bit dry in the beginning, but eventually it gets to the good stuff and it's especially interesting if you're familiar with some of the major critics that are featured in the film, such as Kael, Sarris, Scott, Gleiberman, etc.

I think it may appeal more to film students for that reason alone (the section on the auteur theory really brought me back!) but I think there's still something there for the regular viewer also.
