    I get what you’re saying but film critics don’t rate for enjoyment or suitability in some situations but for the quality of the film.

    The Cannes film probably is objectively better as a work of cinematic art and worthy of the 9.2 score whereas your lazy Sunday afternoon flick is a 6.8.

    If you’re feeling lazy and don’t want to think much then pick whatever because that critic rating says nothing about the enjoyment value of the film.

    It’s like restaurants. No-one is going to argue that a Michelin star restaurant isn’t a more refined experience than the pizza shop down the street. But 90% of the time you’d prefer a pizza. But celebrating a 40th birthday, let’s go fancy.
