Genre films always have a certain stigma next to them. Even if it a great science fiction film, it will always be labeled as a sci-fi film not just a film. Mysteries are the exact same way in film and literature. The only time mysteries tend to be generally accepted is when they “transcend the genre,” which is a bit condescending. It implies that mysteries can only be good when they are not mysteries. However, that is not always the case. Sometimes it just means the snobs like a mystery and need to figure out an explanation.
