And it has an 18% audience score. How does that even happen?

It's a political documentary, so the audience reviews are going to be flooded by political opponents.

It's a rare case where you take the professional reviews more seriously. People who get paid to talk about movies all day are less likely to have any political bias in their critiques.

No. It's not saying much, but they're collectively likely less politically biased than an online mob.

I read a review for Devilman Crybaby that was almost entirely about American politics somehow. Despite the show not being set in America or even addressing half the stuff the person talked about.

I mean, being less politically biased than a group there solely because of political bias doesn't diminish the amount of political bias from "professionals".

Liberals and leftists have been better at making films since pretty much forever, especially documentaries, so the critics' score isn't really that suspect on its own. You'd have to go into the details of individual reviewers and the film itself.

Rotten Tomatoes' active user base has always been garbage, though, predating the most toxic and mob-like elements of film discourse that we have today, by some years. The site had to away the option to comment on individual critics' reviews over a decade ago, because nobody ever commented on critics' reviews...except to be very nasty, in a very unpresentable way, towards critics who disliked a particularly popular review (and in one case, attack a critic who gave a movie a fairly positive review, because RT counted it as rotten for some reason). And, as one poster above mentioned, liberal and left leaning politically oriented films are always going to get bombed by right wing opposition.

So, benefit of the doubt to the professional critics.

you can look at the ratings history of these negative user reviewers, doing so will tell you everything you need to know. I have no idea why rotten tomatoes doesn't do a better job of dealing with this stuff

you should always take critics reviews more seriously than audience reviews. The average movie goer has terrible taste

More importantly, Rotten Tomatoes users are much more politically polarized then the gaggle of contemporary film critics. But it's only the critics who get steamed for it.

I disagree. While user ratings are subject to review bombings and those can probably be ignored, chances are the average movie goer is right and the critics are wrong. You can see certain trends on some critics records like some critics will just rate any superhero movie poorly no matter what.

AOC triggers underachieving conservative white men more than just about anyone. This group also has the most time to waste rating documentaries theyve never watched.

Because she's working class, female, intelligent, and a minority. All things that the conservative base have been convinced to hate.

In fairness to the movie, it's about her and three other women from different states who take on the Democratic establishment.

She is featured more than the other three though since she actually won.

This. I think it is super cringey to give her a documentary at this early point in her career. No idea if she will stick around forever or fizzle out. It is way too early to say either.

Sometimes, AOC does say some pretty stupid stuff. Her and the whole squad, I do have some issues with. They're a little too hard line leftist.

In a vacuum, I'd actually have a pretty big problem with AOC and the whole squad. I only somewhat approve of them, because their creation has basically been a response to Trump who obviously is on an insane level of horrible.

Unemployment is low because of how many people work multiple jobs.

She has an economics degree too.

I don't get how rabid people get over her in either direction.
