Welcome to another tribute minisode! This tribute is for Pauline Kael:

Kael was one of the most influential American film critics of her era,[2] and has left a lasting impression on film criticism.

Kael, he said, "had no theory, no rules, no guidelines, no objective standards. You couldn't apply her 'approach' to a film. With her, it was all personal.”
