Manohla Dargis: The critic as movie killer
By Behind The Scenes TV on Dec 11, 2008 in Classic Movies, Commentary
Before Manohla Dargis joined the New York Times, she was, along with Kenny Turan, our top critic at the Los Angeles Times. Particularly during awards season, I’d often get calls from the marketing chief at a specialty division who was releasing a movie with high Oscar hopes. The question was always the same: Who’s reviewing the movie? Of course, that was code for: Please, God, tell us it’s not Manohla.
