Criticism Under Review

Film criticism has changed… or has it? This panel hears from established newspaper critics, rising stars of film journalism and experts with their finger on the digital pulse, to reflect on criticism as craft, profession and artform. Do critics and the reviews they write still hold the same weight in 2024? Has the world of criticism diversified? And what is the potential impact of the rise of user-generated review platforms such as the online Letterboxd community?

Speakers

• Peter Bradshaw, film critic The Guardian
• Ella Kemp, London editor at Letterboxd
• Leila Latif, contributing editor to Total Film and a regular contributor to Little White Lies, Sight and Sound, Indiewire

Hosted by Isabel Stevens, Managing Editor, Sight and Sound
