Experience

Alistair is a film critic and culture writer based in Manchester, England. He's currently Deputy Editor of The Lowdown, Zavvi's monthly magazine, where he has had the chance to interview major names. In addition to writing for Looper and Zavvi, he can be found sharing his thoughts on the latest films regularly over on The Film Stage. However, don't ask him what his favorite films are: He submitted a ballot as part of the 2022 Sight & Sound poll and already disagrees with many of the choices he made.

Education

Alistair studied Journalism at Leeds Trinity University and worked for a newspaper in the UK before finding his calling in the glamorous world of entertainment journalism.
