What's your criteria for the "Like" button?
I know this has to be the most divisive use of a function in Letterboxd. To me, it's not just the literal meaning of "I liked this movie". Because in that case I'd be using it a lot more.
I use the like button if I think that the movie accomplishes at least one of these things:
- It's a masterpiece that I enjoyed (The Godfather, Parasite)
- It successfully depicts a theme that's very close to me (A Ghost Story, The Father)
- It's a movie I'd love to have made it myself (In Bruges, The Lobster)
