John Carney delivers the ‘Ballad’ of summer and Paul Rudd is at his best.

The new film #Tuner Works better as a character drama, than when it’s a heist film.

I admit my bias for having pet sheep, but this weeks new release "#TheSheepDetectives" is a pretty special film. @TexasArtFilm @HoustonCritics

“Hokum” is almost a great murder mystery horror film with a stellar atmospheric hotel setting and psychological terror, only to be fractured by unnecessary jump scares and supernatural elements.

Today is a reminder that a film critic's job doesn't include agreeing with your fandom.

It's to analyze and evaluate a film and to put them into context, objectively, from a journalistic POV and within the greater context of film history.

Many of us are fans of Michael Jackson, but *as a film critic* that's not an automatic stamp of approval for a film.

We're not judging his discography, choreography or talent here. We're simply focused on critiquing the FILM.

Furthermore, a negative piece of film criticism shouldn't dissuade you from seeing a movie about a man that may be a major idol to you.

@__GodHatesUsAll And yet I would rather watch Ray over and over. Different opinions and tastes I guess.

[Dustin Chase @CriticalDChase]

“Lmaooo” John none of the films you listed are musical biopics 🎵 unless I totally missed Malcom X’s musical career 🤔

[John. 🇩🇴 @__GodHatesUsAll]

Lmaoooo no

Actual gold standard:
Lawrence of Arabia
Malcolm X
Raging Bull
Goodfellas
Catch Me if You Can
Schindler's List

When you wonder why studios are more keen on influencers being given access over critics and why the line between the two is blurring, this is why. A professional soy-facer calling himself a critic telling critics how to do their job

[Brian Tallerico @Brian_Tallerico]

Reminded today that many people don’t even know what a film critic is, how this profession works, etc. The suggestion that critics don’t like movies is patently ludicrous. Why else do this? The trucks of money?

[Dustin Chase @CriticalDChase]

Ray is the gold standard

[Doom Coming @Getthebagcoach]

People expecting every biopic to be Jamie Foxx’s Ray….. ain’t happening

[Benzo Stray Dogs @benzostraydogs]

The critic reviews of Michael and fan response are a perfect example of why studios show movies to influencers first now. They provide nothing but hype moments and aura for fandoms, which also primes fans to trash critics for having thoughts beyond "movie of the year" ballyhoo.
