Citizen Kane used to have a 100 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Then things changed. “The writer, credited as Mae Tinee (a play on ‘matinee’) comments: ‘It’s interesting. It’s different. In fact, it’s bizarre enough to become a museum piece. But its sacrifice of simplicity to eccentricity robs it of distinction and general entertainment value,’ adding: ‘I only know it gives one the creeps and that I kept wishing they’d let a little sunshine in.'” – The Guardian (UK)
