Classically trained film reviewers?

Not sure that's even a thing. Sure, they were educated and well informed, still...

If you are after a popular film critic that really engages with the material, we have Mark Kermode in the UK. I might not agree with everything he thinks, but he's consistent enough that you can use his opinion as a yardstick. I strongly recommend you check him out.

Film criticism and journalism are both college level courses.

I took classes in literary ctiticism, but that wasn't my major.

Ah, yeah, 'classically trained' means something very different here. My bad.
