Summary Scott argues that we are all, in fact, critics, because criticism informs almost every aspect of artistic creation, social interaction, and private feelings. With penetrating insight and warm humor, Scott shows that wile individual critics--himself included--are often wrong about their judgments, the intellectual discipline of criticism is a noble calling and an indispensable tool of modern life. Using his own film criticism as a starting point, he expands outward, guiding readers through the complexities of Rilke and Shelley, the influence of Chuck Berry and hip-hop, the power of Marina Abramovic, and "Ode on a Grecian Urn." Scott shows that real criticism is the breath of fresh air that allows true creativity to thrive.
