Alexander Sokurov: It is very important to me. It is very important to me because I have because no intersections with the critical interests of the people who are engaged in criticism, no: they do their job, I'm doing my thing. This is another arts. AND critic in a position sometimes to show me the way. If this people well-educated, for me it is very important. If this man sensitive, a sensitive, if a man, who is trying to understand the product, which he says, but does not illustrate my thoughts, because I'm better than any critic I know that I did not succeed in the film: My films are composed entirely of flaws.

Almost exhaustive list of qualities of an ideal critic.
Same, but shorter: critic - the alter ego of the artist.
