Film Cousin is a blog dedicated to serious and thoughtful criticism of film, both classic and comtemporary. Here we’ll review what’s playing in the cinema to the timeless classics, and anything in between we feel is worth writing about.

Who Are We? The blog was started by after finding some inspiration while exchanging emails with my cousin in France. He provided some ass-ripping criticism of the short film I was writing and the ensuing dialogue that followed is what got me here.

So what now…

…we encourage enthusiastic and intelligent posts aimed at extracting the artistic and/or cultural essense of the films we choose to review. Or, inversely, we encourage a ravenous deconstruction of a film whose attempt at art falls no further than posturing. And, of course, I’ll repeat the motto of the great story teacher, Robert McKee, “write the truth.”

If you want to start posting reviews we encourage you to email us…we’d be happy to add you as a member.

Have fun…
