Owen Gleiberman Slides Over to Variety

Just in time to help the trade cover the 2016 Cannes Film Festival.

OwenGleibermanPicJustin Chang recently kicked things off at the L.A. Times, his new place of employ, with a widely shared slam of the Garry Marshall-directed Mother’s Day. Now, just in time for the real thing, Variety has announced a replacement for their departed co-chief film critic.

He is… one of the most interesting names still left in the bunch, Owen Gleiberman. The longtime former EW critic starts May 9 and will be based in New York. From today’s release:

Gleiberman shares the title of chief film critic with Peter Debruge, who will be relocating back to Los Angeles from Paris at the end of June.
