The great Pauline Kael

A piece in today’s Alternet confirms what we’ve suspected for a long time: there are not enough women film critics getting published! Locally, I have missed Susanna Sonnenberg since she retired from the craft (we were lucky to have her doing that job for so long). A review by Annie Wagner (The Stranger’s film editor) showed up in the Indy a while back, and I got excited about that, but she has not since returned that I’m aware of.

Here is the source for the Alternet piece.

The arts writing at the Indy has seemed very dude heavy for quite a while, has it not? I hope that, with Erika Fredrickson editing the arts section, we will see a better balance.
