“…as a critic I’d give myself three out of five stars.”
Along with tax auditors, parking meter attendants and totalitarian dictators, film critics rank among the world’s most hated types of persons. I should know since I’ve dabbled in this profession on occasion. Honestly, it’s how I began my career more than a decade ago, though I’ve never considered myself a decent critic. In fact, as a critic I’d give myself three out of five stars. Seriously, I’m more of a fan who enjoys championing the movies I love and bashing mundane crap when it’s deserved. However, having worked on both sides as a critic and a filmmaker, this also makes me perhaps one of the most qualified human beings on the planet earth to review a movie about film critics.
