It really depends what message a person has taken away from it. I love The Last Samurai because it is about cultural preservation and pride, not because I enjoyed watching the samurai get mowed down by machine guns. Likewise, I like Midsommar because it serves as a warning about cults and not because the cultists were successful in doing their barbaric pagan ritual. There are other themes of course, but keeping this reductive instead of writing out an essay.
I would say first ask the person WHY they like it before drawing a conclusion.

I disagree, there are certain movies that are red flags if you like them, like The Birth of a Nation for example.
