...yeah, Ebert’s storied thumb is usually all that people pay attention to, despite the fact that his weekly reviews are consistently thoughtful and crisply written, if a little heavy on plot (before y’all start sneering, take some time to actually read one of his recent pieces; his United States of Leland review is a good start). And yes, film criticism of the Cahiers du Cinema variety can be as much an art form as filmmaking itself, and to rise to such prominence by diminishing it seems terribly unjust.
