Time for a little robot chauvinism!

Does anyone read A.S. Hamrah's criticism? He eschews plot description, referencing actor's previous work for context and political readings of non-political films so his reviews are pretty terse and use vivid language to convey accurate impressions.

Here's his most recent review column: https://nplusonemag.com/issue-33/reviews/we-can-still-think-our-own-thoughts/

I find his positive reviews as interesting as his negative ones which I think is pretty rare for a modern critic.

I love this. Capsule reviews are underrated, and really open the opportunity for writers to get a bit poetic in their critiques.

October is insane. It feels like the work of some advanced alien race that's far beyond our puny human understanding. Kind of makes me wonder what Eisenstein would have done next if Stalin hadn't told him to knock it off.

I really love it because it's got some of the most lavish images he ever shot, but it was edited from raw footage after his death so I can see that being an issue. I'd still say it's an underrated essential.
