ABOUT FILM REVIEW DAILY:
Founded in 1944, Film Review is the world’s longest-running film annual. It was the first book of its kind to cover an entire year of 'filmgoing' and invited industry professionals to comment on their craft. Over the years our contributing authors have included such luminaries as Alfred Hitchcock, Michael Powell, and Cecil B. DeMille — just to name a few. The seasoned critics on our staff have been professionally reviewing films since the 70s, including our Executive Editor James Cameron-Wilson, who took over the reins from founder F. Maurice Speed. The vast majority of our contributing critics are also long-standing members of the prestigious London Film Critics' Circle — the national professional body of British critics. Today, Film Review Daily continues that legacy with reviews, filmmaker interviews, podcasts, and home entertainment coverage for a dedicated audience of cinephiles across the UK and US.
