Isn't Dinesh a criminal who got out because of a Trump pardon? Trump releases this crook for this?

Yup. Trump released him exactly for this. To brainwash people into thinking Trump is a hero. Dinesh made 4 movies: one attacking Obama with little to no proof, one praising the US as the greatest country in the world with little to no proof, one attacking Hillary Clinton with little to no proof and one praising Trump with little to no proof. What else can Trump ask for?

Your fact-checking skills rival D'Souzas.

D'Souza served jail time under Obama. He finished several years ago. Trump didn't "get him out" of anything. He simply pardoned him after-the-fact so it wouldn't be on his permanent record. It was a mostly meaningless gesture.

Of course this score has everything to do with the quality of the movie and not the political leanings of the people reviewing it.

Ever heard of American Sniper? It's a movie that could very well be considered imperialistic and militaristic propaganda, and it was directed by Clint Eastwood, publicly a Republican. American Sniper has a Metascore of 72.

Ever heard of Elite Squad: The Enemy Within? It's a movie that glamorizes violence and is clearly right-leaning. Metascore: 71.

Those are both fiction. There's a professional expectation that people can't simply review fiction badly because they disagree with the themes of it. 

D'Souzas films are political "documentaries". 

They are, by my reckoning, quite bad documentaries, but the 1% is quite clearly because of extreme political bias. Movie reviewers are almost entirely left-wing people. 

If they were reviewed impartially, they'd probably still get quite bad scores. But 1% is just blatant bias. It's the same kind of thing that lead to the Last Jedi getting 92% from the "professional" reviewers but only 45% from the audience. The reviewers are a group of people who all think alike.
