Полин Кель (1919–2001) была, несомненно, одним из величайших имен в кинокритике. Уроженец Калифорнии, она написала свой первый обзор в 1953 году и присоединилась к «The New Yorker» в 1968 году. Хвалившая за ее очень самоуверенный и злющий стиль письма и критиковавшую за ее субъективные и иногда безжалостные рецензии, работы Каэля были освежающе и глубоко укоренились в ее опыте смотреть фильм в качестве зрителя. Любили и ненавидели в равной мере - любили других критиков, на которых она была очень влиятельна, и ненавидели режиссеров, чьи фильмы она разгромила - Кель уничтожил фильмы, которые с тех пор стали такими классиками, как «Звуки музыки», и бредил такими людьми, как Бонни и Клайд , Она также знала о постоянных трудностях для женщин, работающих в кино и кинокритике, и яростно боролась с сексизмом, как в своих рецензиях, так и в своих выступлениях в СМИ.
