The article discusses the state of contemporary film criticism in 2009. The author claims that there is a general feeling among film scholars that criticism is undergoing an identity crisis. The feeling is called a symptom of a wider global recession that is affecting most workers, including film journalists that will most likely lose their job before the end of the year. The author details the success of film criticism on the Internet and examines the ramifications of this popularity on the field.
