Welcome to Uncultured Critic!
My name is Nicola Balkind and I'm a freelance film journalist based in Glasgow, Scotland. I publish at various outlets, including The Skinny, The Big Picture Magazine, and Film International. I'm also a broadcast reviewer on BBC Radio Scotland's Movie Café.
I'm a voracious consumer of media and internet nerd who loves to write. I started Uncultured Critic to chronicle my forays into watching more classics, attending events, and interviewing filmmakers. New posts appear 2-3 times per week, including film, DVD and book reviews, features, interviews, and recommendations. To subscribe, you can use Google Follow, RSS, 'Like' Uncultured Critic on Facebook, or follow me on Twitter for regular updates.
I like your site :-)
