About Reid Goldberg

Reid Goldberg is a features writer for Collider. Having grown up in the Midwest, he attended the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. While he's begrudingly accepted that a FIlm Studies degree wasn't his most viable option, his experience at UWM proved invaluable in further opening his eyes to world cinema and turning him on to an eclectic slew of films and filmmakers he otherwise may have never discovered.

Currently based in Madison, he lives with superhero fatigue, an unwavering appreciation for Tom Cruise, a gnarly and ever-growing case of Nolan-itis, and hopes of stumbling upon the next film that will haunt his imagination for weeks. While not writing and working in healthcare, Reid reads whatever he can get his hands on, gins up ideas for screenplays, and regularly forces family and friends to watch his favorite films against their will.
