Jason Gorber is a Canadian film critic and interviewer based in Toronto.

Gorber holds a Master of Arts degree in Philosophy with a focus on film theory and criticism. He is the film columnist for CBC Radio One's Metro Morning programme, where he has a weekly review segment on Friday mornings. He is a member of the Toronto Film Critics Association,[1] the Online Film Critics Society,[2] and the Critics Choice Association,[3] and has been a jury member for festivals including the Reykjavík International Film Festival, the Munich International Film Festival,[4] the RiverRun International Film Festival, TIFF Canada's Top Ten, Reel Asian, the Calgary Underground Film Festival, and the Windsor International Film Festival,[5] among others.[6] He has covered festivals including Sundance, the Berlinale, and Hot Docs, and has interviewed filmmakers including Werner Herzog[7] and Asif Kapadia.[8]

He is the editor-in-chief and chief critic at That Shelf[6] and a regular contributor for several outlets, including POV Magazine,[9] RogerEbert.com,[10] Collider,[11] The A.V. Club,[12] Paste Magazine,[13] and CBC Radio's q program.[6] He was previously a featured reviewer for the CTV News Channel[14] and has written for the Toronto Star,[15] The Globe and Mail,[16] the National Post, Esquire.com,[17] ScreenAnarchy (formerly Twitch Film),[18] IndieWire,[19] Slashfilm,[20] and many other print and online outlets.[6][1] As of December 2024, he has forty-five reviews listed on Metacritic (where he has assigned scores of 100/100 to two films, respectively The French Dispatch and Anora).[21]

In early 2013, he wrote a piece in the Toronto Star describing his preferred seating locations at many of Toronto's major cinemas. Gorber contends that finding a proper seat is "nearly as important as the film itself" for viewers interested in a full cinematic experience, describing the search as "part art, part science" for a committed few.[15] He has also written reviews of specialty cinemas, including a profile of the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, Texas.[22]

Gorber has been described by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as a Star Wars aficionado.[23] After Disney's announcement in late 2012 of plans to create Star Wars Episode VII (Star Wars: The Force Awakens), he tweeted, "I will be 43 years old in 2015, and yet I will still be lining up. This is what I do. So, who's with me in line?"[24]
