Giacomo,

Thanks for writing.

“Am I a better judge?”

Well, that depends. But the point of this review — like any other — is to express the reviewer’s *very personal* opinions. Despite claims to the contrary, film or book or play or whatever criticism is highly subjective.

By the way, after rereading my “Big Eden” review I have to admit that I sounded harsher than I intended. I found the film “watchable,” not “bad.” But I do believe it could have been considerably better.

I just cannot understand why there are so many negative comments on the web when writing on “Big Eden”.

Well, yes, I loved it. But this is pointless.

What I cannot understand it is why the two audience prizes are understimated by reviewers.
I ask myself why BEFORE writing complete negative reviews none of them thought: “Am I a better judge?”.

I know that is sounds “very Bezucha”, but one of the reason I love cinema is because if we audience love a picture we don’t give any importance to any review.

Thanks, Giacomo
