btw on rottentomatoes.com 23% of the movie critics’ reviews were positive but 82% of the public approved of it. One typical review squib from someone at rogerebert.com:

Movie critics can be pretty dismissive of stuff we like. A friend of mine is an amateur (admittedly) movie critic,

Raves about 12 Years a Slave.
