Indiana University Bloomington }} Philip Neville French (28 August 1933 – 27 October 2015) was an English film critic and radio producer. French began his career in journalism in the late 1950s, before eventually becoming a BBC Radio producer, and later a film critic. He began writing for ''The Observer'' in 1963 and retired as film critic in 2013, but continued to write until his death.

French was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire in December 2012. Upon his death on 27 October 2015, French was referred to by his ''Observer'' successor Mark Kermode as "an inspiration to an entire generation of film critics". Provided by Wikipedia
