This is a golden age for film criticism. Never before have more critics written more or better words for more readers about more films. […]Twenty years ago a good-sized city might have contained a dozen people making a living from writing about films, and for half of them the salary might have been adequate to raise a family. Today that city might contain hundreds, although the Catch-22 not more than one or two are making a living. Film criticism is still a profession, but it’s no longer an occupation. You can’t make any money at it.
