Hello Torarin,
So reviews are useless?
Without context, yes they are useless. With context, your just looking at
correlation: i.e "we like/dislike the same things".
I can understand the premise of the view that art cannot be
quality-assessed, but I think there are still clichés, formulas, poor
execution like bad acting, unrealistic dialog, etc., that can be
pointed out by experienced reviewers.

Art is indeed a relational value (has value only defined jointly by a
creator and a recipient) but that doesn't make it wholly relative.
