Ignatiy Igorevich Vishnevetsky (/vɪʃnɛˈvɛtskiː/;Russian: Игна́тий И́горевич Вишневе́цкий; born September 5, 1986) is a Russian-born United States-based film critic and essayist. He has been a staff film critic for The A.V. Club since May 2013 and previously worked as a critic for the film website Mubi.com and as an occasional contributor to the Chicago Reader.
Vishnevetsky co-hosted Roger Ebert Presents: At the Movies, a nationally syndicated film criticism television show, with Christy Lemire.
Vishnevetsky was born in Moscow, Soviet Union, the son of Russian poet Igor Vishnevetsky, and moved to the United States at the age of 8, following his parents' divorce. Although he did not formally study English in school while living in Russia, Vishnevetsky claims that he learned the language "entirely from TV and American TV commercials I watched constantly".
He lived with his father, stepmother, and stepbrother in Decatur, Georgia, and, four years later, relocated to Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, where he graduated from Wauwatosa East High School and then moved to Chicago, where he briefly attended Columbia College Chicago, studying Film Directing.
