Beth has been at this a while.

She saw The Third Man at fourteen and never quite recovered. Forty years and several thousand films later, she finally has somewhere to write it all down.

Movie Reviewer is a slow, considered space for the kind of essays that don't fit on a star-rating site. Expect Sirk and Sciamma. Expect long paragraphs about why Stalker is funnier than people give it credit for. Expect strong opinions, gently held.

New essays land roughly every week. If you'd rather not visit the site to check, the newsletter is the easiest way to follow along.
