ABOUT CHRIS JONES
Chris Jones, is the founder and principal critic at Overly Honest Movie Reviews, a venture he created as a passion since its inception in September 2018. His fascination with cinema traces back to his grade school years. While he relished the allure of blockbuster films, his commitment to film deepened over time. Today, he resides in Illinois, a setting that poses unique challenges in accessing a diverse range of films, especially international cinema, documentaries, and certain animated features. While streaming services have somewhat bridged this gap, limitations persist. It was these constraints that catalyzed his venture into film reviewing. Through relentless outreach, he has critiqued well over a thousand films, a journey he cherishes daily. Despite the distance yet to travel to achieve his ultimate aspirations, the path of a film critic has been a rewarding and unexpected twist in his career narrative.
