A Mbius strip, a seductive surface where reality and cinema twist into one.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 11, 2015

Like so many of the flicks that the film's gloomy title character seems to review, this kind of anti-romantic comedy proves a mediocre brew.

A former critic himself, Hernan Guerschuny couldn't have conveyed any more contempt for his past profession if he had spliced scenes from Birdman into his film.

| Original Score: C+ | May 18, 2015

A gentle wake-up call for reviewers who see themselves as movie gatekeepers rather than movie analysts.

| Original Score: 80 | May 15, 2015

"The Film Critic" is an extended spoof more than anything else (it may have worked better as a short film), and its targets are pretty shallow, but it still includes many entertaining and insightful elements.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 15, 2015

As in much recent South American art cinema, the depictions of working life are vivid and relatable, throwing the more fantastic ideas into sharp relief.

| May 14, 2015

"The Film Critic" is at once too clever by half and not as smart as it pretends to be.

| May 14, 2015

As the film's heart, the bearded, bearlike Spregelburd delivers a quiet, unemphatic performance, at its best when at its clumsiest and most stone-faced, magnificently tragic and hilarious for one brief, complex moment.

| May 14, 2015

The persistent references to cinema and film writing are self-awarely mimicking clichs but not subverting them.

| May 12, 2015

It perverts cinephilia by asserting that anyone who engages in criticism actually, deep down, wants to be a practicing artist.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 10, 2015
