Information about Film criticism

Film critics should be distinguished from film reviewers. Most people who call themselves film critics and publish commentary on films in periodicals are actually film reviewers. A film criticism is actually more closely aligned with philosophy than it is commentary. The film critic tries to come to understand why film works, how it works, and what effects it has on people. By this definition, leading film critics include: * Andre Bazin * Siegfried Kracauer * Sergei Eisenstein * Christian Metz * William Rothman * Kaja Silverman * Jean-Louis Boudry * Andrew Sarris * Mary Ann Doane * Bela Balazs * Peter Bogdanovich Some notable film reviewers: * Roger Ebert * Pauline Kael * Ëlex Gorina * Harry Knowles - Ain't It Cool News * Leonard Maltin * Janet Maslin * Joel Siegel * Gene Siskel * Peter Travers
