- Armond White was born on April 24, 1953 in Detroit, Michigan, USA.
- Famous for never agreeing with other critics.
- Has a reputation for giving negative reviews to otherwise universally-acclaimed films while giving positive reviews to films overwhelmingly disliked by critics.
- Was member of the dramatic jury at the Sundance Film Festival in 1990.
- Film critic at New York Press since 1997.
- Editor, "City Arts".
- Film critic Roger Ebert called him a "troll".
- The humorous tangents of Just Go with It (2011) are testaments to the fine art of improvisation and of comedy that doesn't take itself overly seriously.
- Each scene in The King's Speech (2010) is so poorly staged that its ineptitude sometimes borders on the avant-garde.
- [on Promised Land (2012)] The love triangle between Steve, Dustin and local schoolteacher Alice ('Rosemarie Dewitt') lacks the gay sexual tension typical of [Gus Van Sant]; this is just a propagandistic gimmick relying on the sentimentality of white-picket-fence heterosexual normalcy.
