I mostly agree with you, but I don’t think that the “take” you criticize is really present in this meme.
I read the meme as: “Sometimes when I watch a movie, part of me enjoys it impressionistically and another part of me does not enjoy the lack of depth. I struggle to clarify what exactly I liked about the movie, but I can express it as whimsy. It’s easy to clarify what I didn’t like about the movie, and it makes me sound like a high-brow film critic.
Of course, my true opinion on the movie lies somewhere in the middle.
Surely we are all like that, to some degree.”
