    That's fine writing, Mr. O'Hehir.

    I'm a writer too and sometimes I feel like an anti-writer, for I write in opposition to the suffocating writers who are forever reminding their readers of their wit. Art critics, film critics, and food critics are often among the worst, so your clean prose is charming. It let me focus more on the film than you.
