Owen Gleiberman (born February 24, 1959)[2] is an American film critic who has been the chief film critic for Variety since May 2016.[3][4] Previously, Gleiberman wrote for Entertainment Weekly from 1990 until 2014.[5] From 1981 to 1989, he worked at The Boston Phoenix.[6]


Gleiberman was born in Switzerland, to American parents.[1] He was raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan,[2] and is a graduate of the University of Michigan.[6] His family is Jewish.[2] His work has been published in Premiere and Film Comment, and collected in the film-criticism anthology Love and Hisses.[6] Gleiberman reviews movies for National Public Radio and for the NY1 television news channel.[6] He is a member of the New York Film Critics Circle.[6] He is one of the critics featured in Gerald Peary's 2009 documentary film For the Love of Movies: The Story of American Film Criticism.[7]


In a 2016 podcast interview with American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis, Gleiberman criticized the modern abundance of comic-book film franchises, characterizing them as "cinematically dramatized Wikipedia entries" due to what he perceives as fan obsession with the "minutia" of interconnecting storylines.[8]


Gleiberman is also the author of Movie Freak, his autobiography, published by Hachette Books.
