Robbie Collin

Robbie Collin is the chief film critic for The Daily Telegraph, a position he has held since 2011. A graduate of the University of St Andrews where he studied aesthetics and philosophy of film, Collin began his journalism career editing the student newspaper *The Saint*. His professional trajectory includes a formative stint at News of the World (2007-2011), where he wrote a weekly film column until the newspaper's closure. Recognized for his incisive criticism, he was shortlisted for Critic of the Year at the British Press Awards in both 2011 and 2017. Collin has expanded his influence through broadcast media, contributing to BBC Radio 4's *Film* programme, BBC Radio 2's Arts Show, and Channel 4's *Vue Film Show*. His 2018 curated list of the 100 greatest films for *The Telegraph*, crowned by *Singin' in the Rain*, remains a significant cultural reference. Collin's approach combines philosophical rigor with accessible prose, establishing him as one of Britain's most prominent film critics.
