It's odd, because if I recall correctly, Kermode was one of the leading voices pointing out that people calling Slumdog Millionaire a "feel-good" movie was a trifle -- incomplete, at best. So I do expect him to know the difference between "uplifting" and "feel-good", both of which terms are used interchangeably in that review, but which I think have important differences between them.
