Do you also believe that your taste in movies is varied and sharp? If we don't know yet, or if we just want to confirm it, we can now calculate how much snobbery the selected film has on the Pretentious-O-Meter website. By calculating the difference between public opinions and critics' opinions for movies on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb, we can see how "challenging" a movie we have chosen.
Film critics they watch countless movies a year. But the fact that they are constantly watching movies, makes them that much more receptive to innovation, and that's why movies like Birdman can end up with high ratings on movie portals and receive the Oscar for Best Picture. So how do we know it is the movie is actually good and isn't it just an appeal to critics who like stories about neurotics struggling with existential questions?
