I am not sure what kind of critics you are asking about. There were movie critics, art critics, even radio critics (TV had not yet come onto the scene) and they wrote for the major newspapers and magazines. There were also syndicated columnists who wrote about politics and current events for the newspapers. But in 1939 it is true that people tended to be more trusting of authority figures and more likely to believe what "experts" said. As for what they thought of the critics, we do not have much audience research about it; however, some of the critics were very well-known and their ideas seemed to be respected. Two good examples from the late 1930s were syndicated columnists Walter Lippmann and Dorothy Thompson, who wrote about politics and current events. But it should be noted that "criticism" was often mild back then. It was a more courteous age, so some of the reviews of movies or radio shows would not have been as scathing or sarcastic as what we see today.

What do critics do?

Critics criticize things. When you criticize something, you point out flaws, explain what you think of it, say how it could be improved, etc. Everybody criticizes everything to some extent, but there are some professional critics who get paid to do their job. Whenever you see the reviews of a restaurant, these are written by critics. When you see the "New York Times raves- fantastic!" in movie trailers, these things were said by critics.
