I will formulate my own opinion, not let the opinion of some random people dictate it. I think critics are an absolute waste of time and have said that for years now. 2

He's the same guy who started the rumor that Brie Larson was allegedly difficult to work with on The Marvels. That man is known to be shady towards female-led films. 1

Critics are not irrelevant or meaningless just because you value your own opinions above all else (everyone ultimately likes what they like but good criticism can help your understand why you do and then help widen your references at the same time). Greta Gerwig wouldn’t even be here making Barbie if it wasn’t for critical valuation and discussion of her earlier work that made her one of the most buzzed names in film of the last decade. If critics weren’t raving from the rooftops about Frances Ha back in the early 2010s would people have discovered her the way they have? Would a repertory cinema just be showing a whole marathon of her movies? Would she be in the position where she is on the cusp of being arguably the first woman to be a major movie brand director alongside your Nolan’s and your Peele’s? Reviews matter, but not in the black and white ‘let’s look at the RT score’ way that gets used for a quick cackle on here; commercially audiences are on board and critics (potentially) being more muted is not going to change that…but yes for a director as important to the cinema of the now as Gerwig is, how this goes down critically too has importance. For what it’s worth there is very little chance this film is derided in any meaningful way outside your puce faced reactionaries complaining about an emasculated Ken. 6
