Levinson, I’ll give you this: You’re clever. Now, when a critic pans “Malcolm & Marie,” it’s only because they’re salty you exposed them. Checkmate! Truly a galaxy-brain move.
In defense of these sequences, Levinson makes a good point: Film critics (overwhelmingly white) are far too quick to politicize, perhaps to compensate for a lack of basic knowledge of the technical aspects of film form.
