“It is not enough to like a film. One must like it for the right reasons.”

That sounds like critical snobbery, but is profoundly true. I don’t think Pierre is referring only to his reasons, although knowing him well, I suppose he could be. I think he’s saying you must know why you like a film, and he able to explain why, so that others can learn from an opinion not their own. It is not important to be “right” or “wrong.” It is important to know why you hold an opinion, understand how it emerged from the universe of all your opinions, and help others to form their own opinions. There is no correct answer. There is simply the correct process. “An unexamined life is not worth living.”
