"Orson Welles, director of THE CITIZEN KANE (literally the Citizen Kane of movies), claimed that CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT was the greatest movie he ever made."
"People may disagree but it feels like if you go on Letterboxd or Lit forums people have a wide variety of tastes and give plenty of hot tales saying they hate extremely well acclaimed works. Yeah, you think Citizen Kane is overrated? Good for you man."

"I get not thinking it's the best film ever. I'm not even sure if it's Welles's best. That being said, it's entertaining as hell and I don't understand why so many people think it's boring."
