For a hundred years, virtually the history of American movies, film critics have championed this medium they so unabashedly love. They advise audiences in deciding what movies to see, and why. Better, their reviews illuminate the film-going experience, suggesting paths for readers to enter cinema more deeply, thoughtfully, appreciatively.

I have been a film critic for thirty years, writing for magazines and newspapers, and, the last twelve years, for The Boston Phoenix. This is a pro-critic film. At a time when American critics are being laid off and fired, and when their influence has diminished, For the Love of Movies: The Story of American Film Criticism is an unapologetic defense of a profession under siege.
