I've always wondered about the "career" we call the Critic. It's basically either nasty comments for the sake of showing their expertise? Or is it just one person's opinion. Usually I'll see a movie if someone with similar taste liked it, or if the trailer and cast looks good, along with the story.
Obviously Stephanie doesn't seem to like the movie, but the play and movie have their fans and they have many of them. So it's like all art which is subjective.
I do think critics seem to think anything but foreign films need to be ripped to wreads, and that they are somehow so above us all in their taste in little known or watched foreign films, subtitles add extra points to show how brilliant they are.
I'll make up my own mind as usual as to what I want to watch, but thanks for your one opinion.
