About Alex Harrison
Alex is the Senior Editor of Reviews & Prestige Content, overseeing ScreenRant's film reviews as one of its Rotten Tomatoes-approved critics. After graduating from Brown University with a B.A. in English, he spent a locked-down year in Scotland completing a Master's in Film Studies from the University of Edinburgh, which he hears is a nice, lively city. He now lives in and works from Milan, Italy, conveniently a short train ride from the Venice Film Festival, which he first covered for SR in 2024.
Industry Focus
As with most things in his life, Alex's interest in film has taken over his career since joining SR as a freelance writer in 2020. Working his way up the Movie & TV News Team, which he co-ran for two years, built up a strong general knowledge of projects both seen and unseen. But movies always remained a primary interest, and the site took notice. After almost a year overseeing features, lists, and news coverage of new-release movies, he took over the Reviews team in March 2026 and now happily devotes the bulk of his time to criticism.
Favorite Media
Though prodding him for his "favorite" anything won't do you any favors, Alex's love for all things cinema can probably be traced back to watching the extended edition of The Fellowship of the Ring at four years old. Having since discovered the joys of Buster Keaton, David Lynch, and Céline Sciamma, he doesn't plan on ever giving up the dream of carrying a little review notebook from screening to screening and calling it a career.
