From Ocean Vuong, citing Rotten Tomatoes
What was said about Rotten Tomatoes
Rotten Tomatoes' split scores show critics and audiences can judge the same work differently. Ocean Vuong points to a 96 critic score set against a 31 audience score as proof that taste formed inside a system can diverge from what real readers and viewers feel.
He uses it as evidence for writing for readers across time rather than for one season's reviews, drawing on Yuri Lotman's synchronic and diachronic reading. His claim is that conformity to critics shows up only when a reader reckons with the work.
