Filmspotting Reviews
We're not (total) snobs. Ratings systems serve a purpose. They're a shortcut. A provocation. Symbolic advertising for critical writing. And Filmspotting is proud to take part in this grand tradition. But Filmspotting is first and foremost a conversation about movies, and we feel that assigning a rating to a film can over-simplify our perspective. That being said, your time is valuable. And we appreciate your curiosity.
