Born United States
Occupation Film critic, writer

Hal Hinson is an American film critic who wrote for The Washington Post from 1987 to 1997.[1] As of July 2015 he has 887 reviews collected on the website Rotten Tomatoes. Hinson has been cited as a critic who is unpopular with his fellow critics, as he is not afraid to give a polarized review; he lauded Hudson Hawk (1991) for instance, which was universally panned. Another example is his review for Super Mario Bros. (1993) which went against objective consensus.[2] Hinson wrote an essay on Montgomery Clift, entitled "Some Notes on Method Acting" for Sight & Sound in 1984.[3] He also reviewed for Film Comment in the mid 1980s.[4]
