I Read Reviews Of Critics I Respect And Feel I Can Learn Something From. Right Now There Are A Lot Of Bottom-feeder Critics Who Just Have Access To A Computer And Don't Necessarily Have An Academic Or Cinema Background That I Can Detect, So I Tend To Ignore That And Stay With The Same Top-tier Critics That I've Come To Respect.

I Think If You Watch Most Of My Films With The Sound Off, You Could Still Tell What's Going On.
