Some are shitty because it gets clicks and attention and therefore makes them money, but I think most critics would rather be seen as someone who genuinely appreciates the art and wants to see the best it has to offer.

Yeah, it's honestly a red flag to me when a filmmaker or actor bashes critics for simply not liking every film they make. Film critics literally watch movies for a living. So they're just gonna react more strongly than the average audience member to tired tropes and whatnot.

Critics aren’t there to give you an opinion. That is how you’ve conditioned yourself to think because of all of this (gestures at the internet) parasocial nonsense. Critics are there to inform you *before you choose whether a movie is worth your time to formulate an opinion*

Critics exist for people who don’t have the time or inclination to know the context or tone or content of a film and would like further information. Some critics suck. So do some filmmakers.
