It's not my logic but reviewers'. Just look at the best movies of 2016 - Manchester By the Sea is 3rd with 96. Such a boring, pedestrian movie but because it's got long still shots then it's art - 96/100. The character doesn't even make sense in that movie. Under The Shadow - 84/100. Another movie where not only not much happens but it's your typical horror movie with a stupid character.

At some point people have to realise that there's a clear bias towards movie that are considered art movies.

I agree but not every arthouse movie is overrated. Nolan movies are sometimes overrated and they're blockbusters

But as a general rule of thumb, arthouse movies are overrated. And a lot of blockbusters are overrated but they almost never reach the heights of the scores of art movies.

You'll often find that 1 gimmick that reviewers love is long shots of the character staring into nothingness. Looking at the sea for a whole minute or similar. Or you see a character doing a menial task for up to a minute.
