Critical reception[edit]

Hi MikeAllen,

Just curious why it was necessary for you to remove in your revision my addition about the film 's getting mixed reviews from critics?

Reading critics' consensus on Rotten Tomatoes ("the stars are ill-served by a thin story and shaky tonal command"), looking at the score on Metacritic indicating "average or mixed reviews", and finally judging from Guy Lodge's words ("doesn’t breathe... constantly, twitchily figuring itself out") - don't you agree that it all speaks for reviews from critics being mixed?

P.S. "Chinaaa" - what's one supposed to deduced from that summary of changes?

So we are just going by one review and a review aggregator that's on the page to come up that the film got MIXED reviews? That seems like synthesis and that's why I removed it. Also, I added the China release date. If you have any more questions about my edits, you can message me on my talk page, since this isn't the first page in the last week you have pinged me on. Thanks. Mike Allen 20:10, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that we shouldn't consider the one sampled review for determining the consensus, and Rotten Tomatoes does not explicitly say "mixed", but I think Metacritic is good to directly say that reviews are mixed. Of the 11 reviews, 9 are categorized as mixed, and the overall score is categorized as mixed. We could reference Metacritic directly to say that the film got mixed reviews from critics, and have another sentence referencing RT that says critics liked Chastain and Hathaway's performances but found the story and the tone to be weak.
