Bilge Ebiri

Film Critic, Editor at Vulture, Director of New Guy

Bilge Ebiri is one of the most respected voices in American film criticism. As a writer and editor for New York Magazine and Vulture, he brings both a scholar’s eye and a filmmaker’s soul to his reviews. A Yale-trained director whose feature film New Guy earned praise from The New York Times and Variety, Bilge has contributed essays to the Criterion Collection and written for The Village Voice, Rolling Stone, The Hollywood Reporter, and more. On Film & Whiskey, he’s helped decode Nolan’s prestige and Bond’s post-Cold War pivot—always with a pour of Bottled-in-Bond or a thoughtfully chosen rye.
