What is the most criticized film analysis in the history of movies and independent films?

Arvilla McGragh

Well, that's a loaded question! As an avid movie-goer and social media user, I can say that there are plenty of film analyses that have received their fair share of criticism. However, if we're talking about the most criticized film analysis in the history of movies and indie films, there are a few that come to mind.

First off, let's talk about the infamous reviews of "The Godfather Part III" by Vincent Canby of The New York Times and Roger Ebert. Both critics panned the film, with Canby even saying it was "dreadful" and a "hollow, expensive, and vastly self-important film." Ouch. The backlash was so intense that director Francis Ford Coppola even addressed the criticism in a new cut of the film released in 2020.

Another critic who has received a lot of flack for their reviews is Armond White. He's a film critic for the National Review and has been known to write scathing reviews of beloved movies. Some of his most notable reviews include giving "Toy Story 3" a negative review and calling it a "toxic expression of spiritual disillusionment," and calling the Oscar-winning "Moonlight" a "a cheap, hackneyed melodrama." Needless to say, he's not the most popular critic on social media.

Lastly, we have the infamous review of "Lady Bird" by Rex Reed of The Observer. In his review, Reed not only criticized the film (which was widely acclaimed by other critics), but he also made derogatory comments about star Saoirse Ronan's appearance. The backlash was swift, with social media users and fellow critics calling out Reed for his sexist remarks.

In conclusion, there have been plenty of film analyses that have been criticized throughout history. However, these are just a few examples that have stirred up controversy and sparked heated discussions on social media. At the end of the day, film is subjective and everyone is entitled to their own opinions, even if they're unpopular.
