I often enjoy reading movie reviews more than watching the movie they review, even when I do enjoy the movie.

I can't usually describe that well why I did or didn't like a movie, so it's fun when I read a review that does put into words how I felt about it. It gives me a deeper perspective on my own feelings about the movie.

Shout out to Vince Mancini, my personal go to film critic.

Okay. I'll accept the premise that she was principally an autobiographer through film reviews. But when she was, as the author notes, not a kind or good person, why consume her autobiography?

there is an archive of her reviews here: https://www.geocities.ws/paulinekaelreviews/

it’s not the best way to browse reviews at random however
