A.O. Scott, the longtime chief film critic for The New York Times, offers a profound meditation on the role of criticism in our cultural lives. This intellectual inquiry explores how the act of judging art is not merely an academic exercise, but a vital component of experiencing pleasure, beauty, and truth in the modern world.
