Film critic really shakes things up by declaring classic movie ‘overrated’

A film critic has really shaken up the tiny group of people who still care what film critics say by declaring a classic movie to be ‘overrated.’

With breath-taking use of the word ‘actually’ critic Merydith Bunyon wrote a piece describing Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs ‘overrated, noisy, and actually a footnote in modern film.’

That piece was then shared on Facebook by her Mum and has been read by up to 15 people.

“Wow, she’s definitely blown my mind by suggesting that Reservoir Dogs, a film widely acknowledged to be very good, isn’t very good,” said credulous simpleton Stewart James.

“It’s the kind of free-thinking, anti-establishment attitude that was personified in the mid-nineties by Reservoir Dogs.”

“Which I now realise isn’t very good.”

Ms Bunyon has denied that she’s just an attention seeking hack and film critics seeking to give iconoclastic ‘critical re-evaluation’ to movies is the most tedious thing in film journalism since the invention of the listicle.

“Actually, it’s important that film critics challenge the critical consensus established by critics by writing internet think-pieces about classic films being not very good on a weekly basis.”

Ms Bunyon has no intention of stopping with Reservoir Dogs, either.

“No, I’ll probably do 2001 next, no one’s done that in ages” she said.

“I’ll say it’s a bit boring. That’ll really shake things up.”
