    I think you’re confusing not being popular with not being good. The Matador was well regarded by both critics and audiences.

      I hadn’t looked at ratings tbf but you have a point.

      It’s at least a movie I never have read anybody recommend, so I don’t think it’s particularly popular

        It’s almost 20 years old at this point so that’s part of it. But I do remember it was pretty under the radar when it came out. Nobody I know has seen it unless I recommended it. It’s not the greatest reviewed movie, but reception was largely positive.
