Film Critics Society

Famous quotes containing the words film, critics and/or society:

“You should look straight at a film; that’s the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates.”

“You know what the critics are. If you tell the truth they only say you’re cynical and it does an author no good to get a reputation for cynicism.”

“Currently, U.S. society has been encouraged by its political and subsidized mass-media intelligentsia to view U.S. life as a continual “morning in America” paradise, where the only social problems occur in the inner cities. Psychologists call this denial.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
