Notable and notorious IndieWire film critic David Ehrlich recently put out a social media call for film critic peers to join a weekly survey to discuss movie topics, answer questions, and highlight their work.  Representing Every Movie Has a Lesson, I, along with over 60 other emerging and established film critics including four of my fellow Chicago Independent Film Critics Circle members, accepted the invitation to participate.  I'm honored by the opportunity, and I hope my responses are chosen each week.  

For the week of June 18th, the topic was "The Best Movie Reviews We’ve Ever Written."  The participating critics were asked to submit a review and reasoning for a piece of work that best represented the spirit of their views or style of criticism.  Ordered alphabetically, you'll find my entry and pick of Wonderstruck on Page 4.
