Une critique de la critique

A good movie review (critique) is hard to come by these days. Movie reviews seem too often written by high schoolers trying to impress an instructor or sound intelligent. Or they just sound like industry hacks trying to convince us that we NEED to see this next movie by X director. A good review is one that gives a film a context and identifies a director's signature. It educates and expands. It ties it together with other works, refers to these other films but not in some pretentious style. It short, it gives you good information. This alone is difficult enough, to actually find one that is entertaining as well is rarer still. So when you find it, shouldn't you share? Enjoy!
