In the Zoom Q&A one of the questions raised was about diversity in criticism, with the fact that it& #39;s & #39;mostly men& #39;. This isn& #39;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.

Debbie Zhou
Honestly, if you& #39;re not across Debbie& #39;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& #39;ll find them.
