Review not accepted: "Does not meet eligibility criteria" - How can I meet it?

#260126-200231-487321I'm trying to post a review for Tangerine, and it has been refused multiple times. All I get back is "Does not meet eligibility criteria", I've gone over the review guidelines and I don't think I'm breaking anything? After initial refusal to post, I've tried time and time again to tone down and even removing some sharper criticisms (including disparagingly mentioning a director by name), and tried to condense this to the simplest and most straightforward it can be while remaining true to what I think of it, but it was just turned down again. Other people seem to love this movie, I hate it as I think it disparages the community it claims to represent and I feel frustrated that I can not share my review to give a counterpoint.What more can I do to get it published?

@Fran​, as a person who is a part of the LGBTQIA+ community, I find this movie offensive.I have watched the movie: I did not like it, I didn't find it funny, I didn't find the characters likable but rather stereotypical and offensive. I found the movie insulting to the LGBTQ community, all (to my mind) valid issues and which I believe were clearly stated in my review. Is my review not valid simply because I dare to criticize a movie I find injurious to my community, when others seem to love it?Since I have seen the movie and my review is indelibly tied to my experience watching it, then the problem seems to be that it is about a group of people. A group of people I BELONG to, and that I find the movie insulting to. HOW am I supposed to remove this important piece of context? Do I need to name the characters of the movie and specifically point out what I find problematic about them and their actions?Or is this something that just can't happen because of the way IMDB operates and covers its back? I could understand if someone was being LGBTQIA+ -phobic and spouting hatred, but I just want my criticism of this specific movie to be heard.
