The star of "Stranger Things" said: “I don’t watch movies. People come up to me and say, ‘You should definitely watch this movie, it would change your life,’ and I’m like, ‘How long do I have to sit there for?’ Because my brain and I don’t even like sitting for my own movies.”

Some people on Twitter are criticizing her, arguing that she comes off as out of touch and questioning why she even wants to be an actress in the first place. They're also pointing out that it's just the smart thing to do, because savvy actors who pay attention to rising auteurs in their field can reach out and connect with them.

But others are arguing that she's a child star who's been forced into this and it's fine for her not to be interested in film. Some have also pointed out that a lot of people in Hollywood (e.g. production crew, crafts people, other actors) aren't cinephiles like you might think, but they're still talented people who turn in good work. At the end of the day, they argue, it's still just a job.
