Do you think all of film criticism is subjective? Are there any aspects of film that are objective?

I was having a heated debate with a movie critic on YouTube and she claimed that she is 100% correct that The Exorcist doesn’t hold up to “modern filmmaking standards”. I asked what those standards were, and she mentioned that the acting was horrible, the special effects were terrible, the pacing was poor, and some scenes in the beginning of the film were pointless.

I think her perspective is completely ridiculous, because I think her viewpoint is subjective opinion. She then proceeded to tell me that I was willfully avoiding the issue, and that I wasn’t separating my enjoyment of the film and the technical aspects of the film. Personally I think that’s also ridiculous because my enjoyment from the film stems directly from the technical aspects of filmmaking. She then proceeded to brag about her Bachelors degree in film.

What do you think? Is there are any ounce of truth in what she’s saying? Personally I think her entire perspective is ludicrous.
