Why was my review of Glass Onion deleted?

I wrote a fairly in-depth review of the movie Glass Onion. In it I talked about the gripes that I had with the movie. Then, just a couple days later, my review was deleted with no notification or reason given. And not just my review, nearly every single review that was very negative about the movie was deleted. These reviews were not bot accounts, they were not derogatory, they were just negative. Consequently, almost none, if not actually none, of the positive reviews written at the same time were deleted. Why is IMDb censoring negative reviews for no real reason other than they are negative?

I'm a little curious then, is making a negative comment about a movie considered a "spiteful remark". What exactly is the criteria here? It's funny how many positive reviews that insult certain demographics don't seem to be in violation of the supposed rules.
