Dan Sallitt (b. 1955, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania) studied at Harvard and UCLA and then established himself as a film critic. In 1980 he began writing for the weekly Los Angeles Reader, of which he was also editor in the period 1983-85. He has also published articles in a number of magazines (Slate, Chicago Reader, Wide Angle, Senses of Cinema) and on the websites Senses of Cinema and MUBI.com. He started up his own film blog entitled Thanks for the Use of the Hall in November 2008. He debuted in 1986 with a relationship video going by the provocative title of Polly Perverse Strikes Again! He worked for a computer company in order to get some cash together for his next, critically acclaimed project Honeymoon (1998). His subsequent film, a drama about the relationship between two sisters, All the Ships at Sea (2004), was equally well received.
