How do I know which critics to listen to?

In terms of knowing which critic to listen to, that's pretty subjective. If you have a trusted critic who's steered you to the right place, I would continue to listen to them or continue to read their writing. But I think people fall out of favor with their critics all the time. They'll be like, "I love that critic, he liked this, he liked this, but he didn't like Shakespeare in Love. What's wrong with him?" That'll happen all the time. So it's good to read what's out there, it's also good to get a sense yourself of what the movie's all about. On the other hand, if Basic Instinct 2 comes out and everybody hates it and you're disappointed by it, I wouldn't be surprised. But I also know what it's like to really want to see a movie even if the critics hate it. You're curious, you want to see Sharon Stone, you want to see something happen. For whatever reason this movie appeals to you, you're going to see it anyway.
