Meet Robert Christgau: the “Dean of American Rock Critics,” whose writing has shaped, challenged, and occasionally enraged music fans for more than sixty years. THE LAST CRITIC follows the legendary critic—now in his eighties—as he continues grading records and listening to nearly everything, tracing a career that helped define modern music criticism itself.
From championing punk at CBGB to celebrating funk, soul, and generations of boundary-pushing artists, Christgau’s influence stretches across decades of music and cultural history.
Directed by Matty Wishnow, a serial entrepreneur, author, and filmmaker who previously founded Insound—the internet’s first record store. THE LAST CRITIC marks his latest exploration of creativity, culture, and the people who shape them.
🎤 Post-screening discussion with producer Paul Lovelace, moderated by Alan Zilberman, film critic for the Washington City Paper.
