Director Taika Waititi recently voiced strong criticism of film reviewers, calling them "sad lost souls."

He contrasted the negative critical reception of his latest film, "Klara and the Sun," with its audience score.
The film, adapted from Kazuo Ishiguro's novel, stars Jenna Ortega. "Klara and the Sun" has garnered a low 26% rating from critics, though audiences have rated it higher. Waititi suggested that critics are often individuals who could not achieve their own artistic aspirations, deeming them "obsolete."
