The Last Great Film Critic

After Ebert passed
there was a void
a need for a cinematic guide
for the people at large
in this age of democratized criticism
much has been gained
but perhaps more has been lost
everyone has an opinion
and aggregation
breeds homogenization
but there is one person left
who understands the power of film
with a pure love of the art
The New Yorker's Richard Brody
who through poetic prose
and eccentric taste
does not tell us what to watch
but teaches us how
