It's a lot of work to find them. It would be neat if there were a site where I could rate a number of movies and then it offers to me a critic or critics I could follow who generally share my tastes.

I'd love this. Recommendation algorithms felt magical in the beginning, but I feel they're getting worse each year. They're getting manipulated by private interests or outright bought, and even when they're successful at remaining impartial they often get stuck in feedback loops. I don't want to keep listening to music that sounds just like what I've been listening to - I want to hear new and different things.

Human curation seems to be the only way out, but it can be so unergonomic. I don't really want to watch no-name movie reviewers on YouTube for hours until I find some I agree with. I don't want to read rambling blog posts to figure out whether or not someone liked a film.

The ideal flow for me would be: rate a handful of films, then it provides a list of curators that I can choose to follow. Each curator has a list of films that they've endorsed ("you should check this out, for this reason").

That's what criticker.com does. It even has an IMDb import to sync your ratings.
