Is it fair to critique a film on being overrated? Does it even count as criticism towards the film, or should it be said towards audience members.
What about the cinematography, acting, tone, writing, directing, etc.
I think saying a film is bad because "I didn't like it" or "its overrated" is a surface-level observation and how can anyone take your opinion on art seriously. Yet, what you like is subjective, but not qualities and techniques of visual storytelling. What you feel is your own experience and I challenge you to ask yourself "What did I like and dislike" instead of falling asleep or checking out in the first 30 minutes. If the aspects of the film you are watching is mediocre, poorly written, and overall lazy. Falling asleep is to be expected...
Films are about experiencing emotions and visual storytelling, even if the films are depressing and anxious. This is merely a question we all need to ask ourselves.
