Thanks for sharing

I hope you had a great event

Just wondering: are there any special credentials required before one becomes a "film critic"?

Who you are writing for determines if your piece is worthy

You are in command of who deems you a critic worth reading.

Wrong.
A critics job is not to make films rather a critics job is to dissect a film

Criticism is allowed however, while they critic, I hope they would make theirs better. It is easy to critic from outside than when you are inside.
