Neither Green nor Brantley ever stand even when their reviews are raves. Many other critics also rather sit during the curtain calls.

I don't know about Green and Brantley, but I've seen some critics who don't even applaud at the curtain. I understand the reasoning of not standing and don't object to it, though they really can stand out in the crowd (pun not intended) in this era of mass SOs.

I have always seen Brantley applaud though never noticed if Green does.

My mentors as a theatre critic told me that critics do not stand at the curtain call. I do, however, applaud each show generously, no matter what I thought of it. If the director has staged a curtain call that is more than cast bows and I can’t look around those in front of me to see it, I will stand to do so. But, it will be a very late stand, and I may stop applauding while I watch.
