The film is about the history of film criticism and it goes all the way back to 1907. Then, the movie progresses through the print era...and the man newspaper and magazine critics who made a name for themselves. Finally, it progresses to modern day, when critics are not necessarily working for newspapers but includes bloggers, online entertainment websites and more.
The filmmakers tell this story in the early portion with film clips, photos and a few interviews. Later, because so many of these critics are alive, you get to hear from them. You also get to learn how nowadays, it's no longer the one or two or three big critics who influence, but perhaps thousands. Overall, an interesting and well constructed documentary.
