  • Michael Sragow is a film critic and columnist who has written for The Baltimore Sun, The New Times, The New Yorker (where he worked with Pauline Kael), The Atlantic and salon. com. Sragow also edited James Agee's film essays (for the book Agee on Film), and has written or contributed to several other cinema-related books. Sragow attended New York University and Harvard University, where he majored in history and literature. Sragow began his career at Boston Magazine, and went on to become the film critic for Rolling Stone Magazine. From 1985-1992, he was the lead film critic for The San Francisco Examiner. Commencing in 1999, he was a film critic for salon. com, and commencing in 2001, he has been a film critic for The Baltimore Sun. He has earned criticism for favoring arthouse foreign films on a disportionate level compared to mainstream (and independent to a lesser degree) American films. In 2008, Sragow published a biography of director Victor Fleming; in his review, John Gallagher writes that Sragow's biography, "restores the director to his rightful place in film history and popular culture. It’s a fantastic read, assiduously researched, using primary archival resources and a full complement of remembrances from Fleming’s family and colleagues."
