Quiet — the interpretive gap has closed or never opened.
Inert — the work has receded from active discourse.
Quiet — the work does not follow viewers beyond the screening.
Transparent — read as story rather than system.
Mainstream — no distinct devotional community has formed.
Conventional — works within accepted shapes and structures.
Engaged — notable response, contained within normal range.
Universal — no glossary required; the work provides its own entry.
Saturated — a shared reference in the general cultural vocabulary.
Generative — a clear aesthetic lineage can be traced through subsequent work.
Overturned — the work's cultural position is substantially different from its initial reception.
Prohibited — banned, censored, or formally classified as socially harmful in one or more contexts.
A single undisputed faction: viewers who watch for Nicholson's performance and then move on.
