I’m Angelica Jade Bastién. I am writer, essayist, and film critic. I am a critic on staff at New York Magazine’s site Vulture since 2017. I have also written for publications including Harper’s Bazaar, Criterion Collection, and The Atlantic. Beyond writing, I have appeared on podcasts including New York Times’ Cannonball and We Hate Movies, live TV, and documentary series like CNN’s Reframed: Marilyn Monroe (2022). In 2022, I was nominated for a National Magazine Award (ASMEs) for three pieces I wrote at Vulture. I am also available to moderate conversations with actors and directors after film screenings.
