Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Just curious...

...is "depressing" a critique, or incidental to your criticism? Life can surely be depressing, so it doesn't appear to me that a movie that explores or evokes depression (if in a creative way) is necessarily doing a bad thing.

Of course you have every right in the world to prefer not watching films you find depressing, but I don't know that, in general, the quality is to be rejected ipso facto.

I'm not talking about the film in any way here, by the way. Haven't seen it. But the way you phrased your reaction raised this as a possible point for discussion.

What do others think about this?
