Director Taika Waititi has sharply criticized film reviewers following the disappointing commercial performance of his latest feature, Klara and the Sun. Released globally, the film—an adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s acclaimed dystopian novel—struggled significantly at the box office.
Defending his work, Waititi stated that he creates films "for the people" rather than professional reviewers. He contrasted the harsh critical reception with audience feedback, highlighting that viewer ratings on platforms like Rotten Tomatoes are considerably higher than the scores given by professional critics.
