Reel Critic is back for another year with more reviews of the latest Hirschfield hits, indie favorites and blockbuster classics making the rounds at Middlebury. Look for the weekly column in the Arts and Culture section to hear what The Campus’s film critics have to say about the films you’ve already seen and the ones you’re waiting to watch. This week, with the first review of the 2022-23 season, we look back on the movie that swept up America this summer in a wave of jet-fueled excitement: Top Gun: Maverick.
