How come directors don't write movie reviews, but book authors commonly write book reviews?
- wolverine876 5y agoInteresting question: Maybe the barrier to entry for directors is much higher than authors. The budget required for a film greatly limits the output; any critic can try writing a book. But I wonder how many film critics try making short film? With modern digital video and YouTube, it's possible.

- wolverine876 5y agoGreat examples, thanks. Still, the barrier to entry is much higher.
