      "It was a real jolt to a lot of readers of The New Yorker who were used to this rather genteel prose. She didn't want her sentences straightened out. She didn't want them made more elegant." It wasn't just Kael's opinions that made her a bold critic, it was her voice as a writer.

      What She Said is not a great film in its own right but in Kael it has a subject so fascinating that it's worth watching for anyone who cares about film history or the criticism of any art form.pic.twitter.com/b4EJWCwpfd

      I have many fierce disagreements with Kael about individual films & larger issues but I adore that her body of work is an argument in favor of a critical discourse that is deeply felt, intensely subjective, & that shuns consensus. I dream of being a fraction of the critic she was

      A few great Pauline Kael quotes featured in What She Said about how her fiercely held opinions about movies raised problems not only in her professional life but in her personal relationships with men.pic.twitter.com/0xA3WDRiaC

      Another thing I liked about What She Said was that it mentioned Pauline Kael had to advocate for the financial value of her own work rather than doing it for free, & that The New Yorker never paid her a living wage despite the fact that she brought many readers to the magazine.😡

          What She Said: The Art of Pauline Kael, a documentary about one of the all-time great film critics (and by extension, in my view, about a whole philosophy of criticism that still exists but is in fairly short supply today) is now free to watch with Amazon Prime.

          I really only know her from her reviews, some of which I enjoyed, some not so much. I'll have to watch this sometime. One of the joys of my relationship is that Sarah and I don't always have the same opinion. We have great fun critiquing things we watch together.

          Not many movies I'd say we fought about: quite a few we disagreed about. :)
