10 YouTube Film Critics You Need To Be Watching

10. Every Frame A Painting

Every Frame a Painting may have put out less than 30 videos over the last two years, but there's a reason why the channel has over 700,000 subscribers regardless.

The channel consists of a series of brief but extraordinarily concise video essays presented by filmmaker Tony Zhou, who covers subjects such as Edgar Wright's knack for visual comedy, the Coen Brothers' use of shot reverse shot, and the role of the editor in shaping a movie.

Zhou's videos are informative and dense yet inclusive and welcoming, avoiding the pretentiousness that washes over many similar movie essay channels.

His output may be low, but such is the price for content of extremely high, informative quality. EFAP is a must for any aspiring filmmakers or critics.
