Yes, Ebert was the only critic who could tell you how to improve as a film maker. His integrity was incorruptible. He knew things about film that none of the critics around today seem to know: a complete knowledge of films of the past, what it takes to make a film since he did one himself in the 60s, and how to make a film better. He will be terribly missed.
- wahnfrieden 13y agoHe comes from an old school of critics. There are plenty other good ones today, they're just not as fortunate with the media exposure Ebert got. Some of my favorites are Glenn Kenny, David Bordwell, Jonathan Rosenbaum, Kent Jones, and others I'm missing.
- tshepang 13y agoAgreed with the mention of Jonathan Rosenbaum, the best critic I've read yet (but then again I am not familiar with the works of the others you mention).
