> It's also possible for critics to have systematically different preferences than movie-goers that don't deserve to be described pejoratively as "out of touch" or "snobby."

When the person writing a review has "systematically different preferences" from the people they're writing for, "out of touch" is exactly the right description for that ("snobby" - not necessarily).

Or put another way, maybe you’re not the intended audience if you’re reading a film critic’s work only to decide if you might like a film and you repeatedly find that your tastes are very different than that critic’s.
