My Take
Peter Bradshaw is a critic whose writing I genuinely enjoy reading. As The Guardian's chief film critic since 1999, he has spent a quarter of a century at the front line of British film culture, pairing a Cambridge-trained intellect with a wit that never feels showy. What I value is his honesty: he explains why a film moved him or left him cold, rather than just dispensing stars. Criticism can wound the people who make the work, but his pieces carry enough affection that they rarely sting. For me, he functions as a reliable compass for what to watch.
