Indeed, it's good to find certain critics that share your same taste in movies. Having that said, I feel there is a noticeable stigma of giving certain films a bad review simply because it is "artsy" or caters to grass-eaters like Sparafucil. For example, Moonrise Kingdom received nearly flawless reviews, and that movie was ****ing horrible.

I do believe though that there is a certain higher order way to see films.

You might say Moonrise Kingdom, assuming I have seen it, I might call bullshit and say you just didn't understand it.

At the same time reading for example Roger Ebert's or Anthony Lane's criticism, I might disagree or agree but still understand their view of it.

I think that leads to developing a better mindset to appreciate film.

If I can maybe explain myself better.

If we disagree on a film, I think that only a higher level of criticism can be accepted, ie. Just saying a film is boring is not gonna cut it.
