Third Act
Founding critic
Desmond Cray
Desmond Cray writes the reviews at Third Act and co-founded the magazine after two newspaper jobs disappeared out from under him within a year of each other. He won't review a cut he hasn't watched straight through in a dark room, and he takes a film's blocking and sound design as seriously as its plot.
