Serious film journalism appears to be one its way out. The closing of The Dissolve is a great example of the trend.So where to go for great reviews and smart film news? This is quite difficult as most websites about popular culture are nothing more than PR agencies and basically are one big advertisement blog.Luckily we know which websites still do great analyses and make the art of reviewing a deserved art form in its own right.
