That's not my point.
A movie like the new Mary Poppins film got a multi-million dollar ad campaign
that began before they even started shooting. Welcome to Marwen didn't.
A film like Welcome to Marwen appeals to me more than the new Mary Poppins.
Not having kids or grand-kids may bias me, but that didn't stop me from enjoying
the Harry Potter books & then the films, but ...
Thing is I don't get *ALL* of my news from facebook, twitter et al and I like to
think my tastes are slightly more discerning. But if it hadn't been for "Pentax
Spotting", I probably wouldn't know about the film.
What are people who don't have my advantages going to know?

I saw the preview some months ago. I also knew something of the real life
story from which the movie was drawn. So yes: I would have gone to see it
regardless.
The reviews on various sources like Rotten Tomatoes are bimodal between like
and dislike, and the overall score is low. But I never gauge what movie to
see by the reviews, just like I never gauge what camera to buy according to
the reviews.

I would have gone. I saw several interesting reviews, and I like Steve

It does not have the mass appeal of a Mary Poppins movie or a
superhero movie. Those are the films that draw audiences today.
