      1. Don't Look Up is super popular -- one of the most widely watched movies in the streaming era. On the other hand, the critical response has mostly been "meh" to hostile.https://twitter.com/FilmUpdates/status/1478470117914816519 …

      2. Not unusual for audiences & critics to react differently to movies, nor for filmmakers to use hostile criticism to drum up attention. What's more interesting in way politics feeds into divide on movie.

      3. Like Michael Moore before him, Adam McKay might be finding out that in political filmmaking there's a trade-off between critical praise & reaching a mass audience. @DavidKlion & I talk about Don't Look Up & McKay's career.https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/podcast-critics-are-down-on-dont?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email …

      Which of Moore’s films was critically disliked but a hit with audiences?

      Fahrenheit 9/11 was a genuine hit but I think it was critically divisive and there have always been people with broadly similar politics who find Moore grating or unsophisticated

      Yeah, I think there's always been a subset of critics (even, or especially, on the left) who have been skeptical of Moore's movies & broader schtick.
