For older, less popular films, aggregator scores typically fail to accurately reflect the consensus among critics. The MOS:FILMCRITICS guidelines on Wikipedia advise caution when using aggregators and suggest prioritizing the insights of individual critics. Before the 2000s, platforms like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic didn't exist, and reviews were predominantly found offline, so for films predating this era, it's better to use other sources, such as print publications where critical consensus may be documented. Maintaining a neutral perspective involves sampling a reasonable balance of these retrospective reviews, which I was able to do after looking for reviews in archived papers. Note that none of the 8 reviews (both positive and negative) I added are cited on the film's Rotten Tomatoes page, and that the 8 reviews cited were all published 2-4 decades after the film was released. Feel free to raise any objections. Mooonswimmer23:35, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
