Karina Longworth (born July 10, 1980) is an American film critic, author, and journalist based in Los Angeles.
The New York Times has called Longworth "freakishly smart",[12] and Variety said, "... it's the ever-proliferating bloggers – Spout, Cinematical, Movie City News and Hollywood Elsewhere – that have become the instant barometers for how a film plays.
[14] The New York Times has commented, "Are print critics really so all-important and sacrosanct with the Web full of debates about all manner of film in places like indiewire.com, cinematical.com and blog.spout.com?
"[15] In April 2014, Longworth launched You Must Remember This, a podcast that covers lesser-known Hollywood stories from the early- to mid-twentieth century.
[19][20] The podcast's most talked about series to date was adapted from the unfinished memoir of Academy Award nominated production designer and film producer Polly Platt.
