American film critic Renata Adler wrote for the New York times during the late '60s; she was noted for her refreshingly innovative criticism that viewed the film in a less-specialized context. Unlike others, Adler did not restrict her reviews to commercial features; she also reviewed documentaries and even industrial films. She also liked to comment about the theaters where the films were shown. In 1969, she published a book, A Year in the Dark.
