J. Hoberman is an American film critic who wrote for the Village Voice for over three decades and is one of the most respected voices in American film criticism, known for his integration of avant-garde and popular cinema.
Hoberman's capsule description of 'Memento' as 'The Matrix' meets 'L.A. Confidential' accurately identified the film's synthesis of mind-bending science fiction and hard-boiled neo-noir, helping frame the critical reception that launched Nolan's career.
