Yet most people I know whove seen it loved it? Im surprised that professional reviews of the movie are so low.

54% on RT but a 78% audience score.

what gives?

I heard some folks suggest that it is because the media is one of the groups that it makes look bad. Dunno though. Never watched it and probably never will just like with almost all movies.

I haven't seen it but from what I've heard, I would expect it to be the other way around

It's unbelievable because of the premise that Leonardo DiCaprio is supposed to be attracted in woman over the age of 25 in it.

The most unbelievable part of the whole film tbh. Everything else was played pretty straight in comparison.

that theory makes sense. Definitely digs in hard to the media in general

Cursory glance is at the reviews suggest it's because the movie isn't funny or good.

Everything you love was always woke, and its less woke than it used to be, and that's why its not as good anymore, because its less woke.

I hadnt looked but that seems a bit surprising. I thought it looked like one of those movies that would review well. I honestly really liked it.

Because the movie is about how corrupt and insane the media is

Anytime you have a film thats this widespread (I think I read somewhere its the third most-watched movie on Netflix) and openly political youre gonna have a huge swath of right-wing publications pushing out op-eds about it, which will skew any sort of aggregate review metrics.

I enjoyed it (in the sense that it filled me with an overwhelming sense of impending doom) but there are some fair criticisms to be made. It could have done with some rewrites or extra editing to cut down its runtimeover two hours for a satire/comedy is generally not the ideal.
