I tend to put more faith in the everyday movie-watcher than I do in the "professional" critics.
If you had to trust one of those two groups, which would it be?

For me, it depends on the genre.
After the genre is established i.e., drama, sci-fi, comedy, etc., I look at the players, i.e., directors, producers, actors, etc., then I look for awards nominations, i.e., Golden Globes, Oscars, film fest awards, etc.
Then I randomly close my eyes and click on a movie and watch as much of it as I can and come to my own conclusions.
At first, for example, I thought Roma was a boring, hoiti-toiti, foo-foo, art-house expression of cerebralness by an emotional Felini wannabe.
I was correct.
But it is really a great movie, too.
