Listen "176: Alissa Wilkinson at The New York Times"
Episode Synopsis
Alissa Wilkinson stands out amongst film critics for writing extensively about documentaries. She was based at Vox.com for many years, but a few months ago she moved to The New York Times where she launched a column called Documentary Download. This was welcome news to Pure Nonfiction host Thom Powers who years ago wrote the wishful post Wanted: Documentary Critics. Thom and Alissa discuss the state of film criticism and what's unique about reviewing nonfiction. For more on Alissa, see Alissawilkinson.com.On Instagram: @purenonfiction @thompowers1
