The Basic Cinephile is devoted to diversifying on and off screen representation by providing a platform for people to publish their thoughts on movies, tv series, and pop culture at large. We are a female-founded brand and are unapologetically feminist. We understand that it can be super intimidating, and downright challenging, to a) put your opinions out into the world! and b) find a platform to publish them. It’s our mission to support both aspiring and established film critics by curating a diverse group of cinephiles and empowering them to critically consume media and publish their thoughts! People come in all shapes and sizes, and so should film critics. Whether you’re a film school graduate who’s an authority on Kubrick or an aspiring influencer who can quote every word of Legally Blonde and Clueless, both are like totally basic cinephiles.
