Jesse Eisenberg on how critics are just jealous: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/11/23/an-honest-film-review … Certainly one way to explain the reviews for American Ultra.
@charlielyne sure it's showing his frustrations at unprofessional critics, but I don't think it's a sweeping statement against them all

@CharlotteCook But all the accusations (letting frustrations at train delays affect reviews, fantasising about sleeping with studio... -
@CharlotteCook employees, being jealous of movie stars) are things he *imagines* this critic would do... -
@CharlotteCook ... How does Jesse Eisenberg know what's going on inside his detractors' heads?

@CharlotteCook@charlielyne But who are these unprofessional critics? Critics I know enjoy the job. I don't recognise anyone in the piece. -
@GuyLodge@CharlotteCook My main objection is that his penultimate paragraph made me cringe so hard I climbed inside my own throat and died. -
@charlielyne@CharlotteCook Yes. If the target of his satire is simply bad writing - of which there is plenty - he hasn't a leg to stand on. -
@GuyLodge@charlielyne Ha, that's very true. But the framework is a story. About one person. -
@CharlotteCook@charlielyne Yet he knows - or should - that his piece will reach many readers with no knowledge of/stake in that story. -
