Treehouse Movie Reviews

J. Hoberman on The Changing Film Scene

“I can feel as if I’m whispering into the wind, drowned out by the whirring of the mainstream cinema hype machine, which of course is kept nicely oiled by the entertainment media.”

That quote was actually by Manohla Dargis, one of the interviewers, but Hoberman has a few interesting (and depressing) thoughts about how film reviewing has changed, especially since the 1980s. Personally, I find this fascinating because I’m still so new to film at this point. From what I gather in this article, I really should’ve been born at least 10 or 20 years earlier.
