BuzzFeed Cracks the New York Film Critics Circle

Hired on as a critic in the spring of 2014, BuzzFeed's Alison Willmore is among this year's NYFCC additions.

Alison Willmore, BuzzFeed’s first film critic, has racked up a total of 323 site posts. She was recently all over the Toronto International Film Festival, suggesting that “Optimism Doesn’t Look Good on Michael Moore” and “There’s a Lot Missing From Johnny Depp and Tom Hardy’s Gangster Movies.”

While there were already a number of New York Film Critics Circle members who file primarily for online outlets, the addition today of Willmore feels like a watershed moment for both the 78-year-old organization and nine-year-old website.
