RE: Well, you don't have to view every film in the world,

"Dark Humour, Science Fiction, Satire typically demands more from an audience." "More?" So Antonioni films, all of them are first-and-foremost visual art, demand "less"?

Bela Tarr? Tarkovsky? Kubrick?

Perhaps you don't like films of these very, very visual directors?

Some feel that what separates film from literature or theater is what makes it a true art form: the visual dimension is the key. I appreciate films that are well-made, period.

There are many kinds of critics and I think if one reads a wide selection and reads compendia of their opinions--- one can get a good general idea of a film's worth.
