The director of the flop film Klara and the sun calls critics “sad, lost souls”

“Let’s dedicate a thought to those sad, lost souls who couldn’t achieve their dreams of being an artist and were content with the situation and started to be critics.”

Waititi’s anger towards film critics is linked to the backlash for his latest film. Science fiction drama Klara and the sun has been widely publicized.

In his rejoinder, Waititi gives his own verdict on the critics.
