    Love it!

    That's all I can say. Really one of the few critics I agree with pretty much always.

    Nah, it'll be fine.

    Offering a knowledgeable and delicate look at various cultural, none alcoholic beverages from around the world, The Critical Drinker uses his insight to give sensitive reviews and opinions on each and every freshly squeezed sustainably organic juice, herbal brew and plant based detox wellness drink that he can find to critique.

    Nah, just kidding. Prepare to have your expectations subverted.

    He's a permanently leathered Scotsman, with a no holds barred attitude on what he doesn't like and what doesn't work in today's film industry and a genuinely constructive analysis of how and why he thinks that to be the case. Parts of his channel too are his 'The Drinker Recommends' and 'The Drinker Fixes' series, for which he uses his day job experience and skills as a fiction author to examine what makes the good, good and, if needs be, offer suggestions on how to change some of the absolute dross which is pumped out onto the big screen these days.

    A true wordsmith with a hilariously cynical, 'I just can't be bothered' undertone to his style and very self aware play on The Drinker character that he has developed in a very short time on his rapidly growing YouTube channel and all done without a single plea to 'smash the like button, share and subscribe' too...quite the opposite in fact. For all his pleading to just 'go away now', the subscribers continue to come in their droves.

    Stunningly insightful commentary presented with acidic wit and charm

    There's not much to say beyond the headline... i wish hollywood would hire him before they turned their rubbish scripts into rubbish movies.

    Mainstream cinema has gone downhill with the blockbuster hyperactive but forgettable spectacle taking precedence over meaningful, emotive and character driven scripts.

    The critical drinker provides a great analysis with some good laughs along the way - give this gentlemen a TV show!

    Awesome Character Development

    I don't think I'd be happy if this was ever cancelled. I'm still crying over Future Man ending prematurely. Let's hope the Critical Drinker looks at The Haunting of Bly Manor, perhaps he could fix it?

    Too drunk to even write movies

    Critical Drinker has potential but wastes it entirely.

    He used to make videos about why movies these days are bad and gives us reasons why. I desperately watched these videos to try to learn how to be a better writer when my friend was gone. My friend used to critique my writing.

    Here's the thing. It didn't work. Making a bunch of generalizations about characters does a good story not make but he's the writer guy and that's ok.

    Every video is pretty much the same. Insert (Generic Superhero movie, Summer popcorn flick,A24 indie) Give a spiel about (The message) Pretend to know better. Pretend to care. Complain about (Insert minority group or woman) for a duration of 3 minutes (Insert sound effect). Complain about the CGI (Insert Go away now)

    Is anyone surprised though that these movies he reviews are mediocre? How many times are you gonna get mad at Superhero movies?

    Sometimes he's funny. Other times he just panders to dudes that are forever stuck in 2002."I love Spiderman and LOTR so therefore you must love it" Acts like he's seen Morbius. (He has not seen Morbius)

    I get this guy's generic reviews in my feed. It's as bland as an 80's guitar riff and formulaic as a Scooby Doo episode.

    And a fanbase so rabid they make Sonic fans blush.

    But where else are you gonna get movie reviews? Ben Shapiro? Go away now.
