Keep Independent Film Criticism Alive

Dear readers,

Quality written film criticism is becoming increasingly rare. I’ve worked to make Deep Focus Review (DFR) a place for thoughtful film criticism and critical analysis. If my reviews and essays have enriched your experience with movies, I hope you’ll consider giving back through Patreon.

DFR has been 100% independent since the start. No sponsored posts. No outside influence. Just film criticism, supported by readers.

Contributing to DFR not only keeps the site independent but also makes future writing possible. It helps cover research, access to scholarly sources, and the materials required to delve deeply into films. In return, Patrons gain access to exclusive essays, streaming recommendations, polls, AMAs, and a community of fellow readers who care about film as much as you do.

Whether you join my Patreon or make a one-time donation, your support ensures that independent criticism continues to thrive.

Thank you for your readership and support!

“Supporting Deep Focus Review on Patreon has been rewarding. In addition to gaining access to exclusive and thoughtful content, I also appreciate knowing in advance which movies Brian will review when and getting monthly updates on his current Top 10 movies of the year. I highly recommend joining for anyone who reads Deep Focus Review.”
