""From the moment the title card appears to when the final credits roll, I'm worrying about how I'm going to categorise the movie.""
""Will it be a five-star knock-out? Will it be a two-star flop? Should I add a half star or take one away?""
The article reflects on the author's experience of watching films in a cinema. Instead of immersing in the artistic nature of movies, the author feels a sense of stress over categorizing and rating each film. The thought process begins with assessing how to rate the film from a potential five-star rating to a two-star disappointment, and culminates in the pressure to write a clever review for their Letterboxd account, highlighting the internal conflict between enjoyment and judgment.
