That's how film criticism works y'all. The director is LITERALLY framing a certain reality for the audience and the author is bringing the framing to your attention.

My problem with this piece isn’t criticizing Beyonce for airing her movie in Israel, it’s that the author clearly has contempt for Beyonce as she positions everything Beyonce does—including mother her kids—as a nefarious ploy to deceive her audience.

"the message is still there" but Amazon owns the means of production and distribution. The point honestly is that it doesn't matter whether or not you agree with me or even the film itself and its message, because the workers are still being exploited.
