trailer break: ‘For the Love of Movies’Take a break from work: watch a trailer... The quotes from critics’ reviews strike me as sorta like Kramer’s plan to write a coffee table book about coffee tables: Should critics review a film about critics... one in which they themselves appear? I do not appear in this movie, though obviously a have something of an interest in the subject matter. I’m hoping to get my hands on a copy to review soon... For the Love of Movies is playing at festivals and special screenings around the U.S.; it is available on DVD from the official site. support

Critics can review whatever they want, I suppose... that's sorta the gig. It's less like a coffee table book about coffee tables, and more of a coffee table book about coffee table books. And even then, it's still a coffee table book, so it would need a chapter or at least a paragraph on itself. In the appendices, maybe?
Or perhaps in the paperback release.

Of course critics can review whatever they want. But there are issues of conflict to be considered, too. Should critics review movies that they were involved with making? Should critics review movies to which they have some personal connection? Those are valid questions.
