In the Zoom Q&A one of the questions raised was about diversity in criticism, with the fact that it's 'mostly men'. This isn't untrue, but with that in mind, I want to highlight some great writers in Australia and encourage you to drop some names below too.
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
One of the finest voices on film in Australia right now. Downright essential reading and well worth engaging with.

Honestly, if you're not across Debbie's writing, then you need to fix that now. Each piece Debbie writes helps set the benchmark for criticism in Australia.

I want to add - yes, criticism is still predominantly male, but look for critics, search out different voices and you'll find them.
