Hal Hinson is an American film critic who wrote for The Washington Post from 1987 to 1997.[1] As of July 2015 he has 887 reviews collected on the website Rotten Tomatoes. Hinson has been cited as a critic who is unpopular with his fellow critics, as he is not afraid to give a polarized review; for instance, he lauded Hudson Hawk, which was otherwise panned. Another example is his review for Super Mario Bros., which went against the critical consensus.[2] Hinson wrote an essay on Montgomery Clift, entitled "Some Notes on Method Acting" for Sight & Sound in 1984.[3] He also reviewed for Film Comment in the mid 1980s.[4]
