Welcome to Acquired Tastes, Film Freak.

At Acquired Tastes, we don't believe in “good” or “bad” taste. There is only personal taste.

Within our divergent sensibilities lie valuable insights into what makes each of us tick. Only by interrogating what lies at the root of our subjective reactions to a given film can a stable conception of personal taste begin to cohere.

In doing so, we can find common ground, hash out our differences, and develop the relationship between critic and reader. Join me on a journey to the highest highs and lowest lows of film, extolling cinematic brilliance and basking in idiocy.
