Unless that article was written by someone who had actually directed a film they dont really have a leg to stand on, just opinion.
Nobody does, you either enjoy it or not, its all opinion same for any critic or bloke in the street.
If the camera work is good then its just one of many steps to it being a good film, probably the most important being the script.
That's not the point I was making. The article pointed out basic technical flaws in his direction, nothing to do with how much he (the writer) enjoyed the movie (or didn't). Cold, hard facts about the direction. He's a poor director.
