Michael Sragow (born 26 June 1952 in New York City) is a film critic and columnist who has written for The Orange County Register, The Baltimore Sun, The New Times, The New Yorker (where he worked with Pauline Kael), The Atlantic and salon.com. Sragow also edited James Agee's film essays (for the book Agee on Film), and has written or contributed to several other cinema-related books.
Sragow attended New York University and Harvard University, where he majored in history and literature.[1] Sragow began his career at Boston Magazine, and went on to become the film critic for Rolling Stone Magazine. From 1985-1992, he was the lead film critic for The San Francisco Examiner.[2] Commencing in 1999, he was a film critic for salon.com, and commencing in 2001, he was a film critic for The Baltimore Sun.
In 2008, Sragow published a biography of director Victor Fleming; in his review, John Gallagher writes that Sragow's biography, "restores the director to his rightful place in film history and popular culture. It’s a fantastic read, assiduously researched, using primary archival resources and a full complement of remembrances from Fleming’s family and colleagues."[3]
In January 2010, Sragow taught a course on "Classic American Films" at Centre College for the school's three week "Centre Term."[4] Sragow has constantly supported British filmmaker David Yates through his online blog "Sragow Gets Reel", naming him "a big-screen master of tension, atmosphere and emotional suggestion".[5][6]
Sragow became the movie critic for The Orange County Register on March 18, 2013.
