I'm not sure this is exactly what you mean, as in it's not automatic like Goodreads feeds are, but when I see a reviewer whose tastes match mine, I add the person to my "interesting people" list. Once there, I can follow their reviews, etc. from my profile page.

I don't care to read reviews of professional reviewers, be they for books or movies. I don't even find Consumer Reports magazine as useful as consumer reviews these days.
