They said "good", not necessarily "best in class of the year". Most of those movies aren't ones I'd call bad, even if a lot I'd argue are safe and middling. That's usually the criticism of the a Oscars from the film community.

I also don't think good has to do with widely seen or not either. Popularity is not an indication of quality.

I mean I don't know anyone else who saw Neptune Frost or the latest Weerasethakul film
