STEPHANIE MALONE

As a passionate cinephile with a lifelong love for the art of storytelling, Stephanie brings a unique and thoughtful voice to the world of film criticism. Her deep appreciation for cinema spans a wide spectrum—from the unapologetically raw and chaotic energy of B-movies to the refined artistry of foreign and arthouse films, from enduring classics to groundbreaking modern masterpieces.
Her academic background as an English major, combined with her formal education in film school, has honed her ability to analyze and articulate the resonant themes and social relevance that make cinema such a powerful medium. Her critiques aim to elevate the conversation by exploring the depth and significance of films while always remaining accessible to readers. She believes that thoughtful criticism has the power to inspire, inform, and challenge audiences to see the world through a different lens.
As the founder and editor-in-chief of Morbidly Beautiful (morbidlybeautiful.com), she has demonstrated her commitment to amplifying marginalized voices and celebrating underrepresented talent in film for the past decade. She edits approximately 70 articles per month while contributing her own editorials and reviews, ensuring that diverse perspectives are championed and heard.
Her work as a co-host of several film-related podcasts, a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, a voting member of the Women Film Critics Circle, the North Texas Film Critics Association, and GALECA, as well as her status as an official Cherry Picker further underscores her dedication to fostering meaningful conversations about film.
She sees film criticism not just as a profession but as a profound responsibility—a way to honor the art form while advocating for greater inclusivity and representation in storytelling.
