About The Movie Scrutineer

The Movie Scrutineer is a hub for film enthusiasts that like to ponder on and discuss the meanings of film, how movies are embedded in culture and just in general, love anything film.

In this day and age, lists, gossip and film news are the norm for many film sites. The Movie Scrutineer is a haven exactly for those who still love to read meaningful articles about film. We don’t bother with industry news, speculation or celebrity gossip, or short, stupid lists – instead, we focus on the content of movies and the art of film making.

You could say we’re a modern film journal; while adapted to modern technology, we're upholding a high standard, in an age where we desperately need more quality content on the web.

We love to chat and discuss with our readers, so please do participate in the comments!
