It seems people are just focusing on one aspect of this episode; the part where Oreki lost his composure when the three disagreed with his theory.
This had a lot of things going on. Irisu's motive, what happened to Houngou, the proper theory to Houngou's intentions for the film, etc.
If you look at it, the whole mystery part with the movie wasn't the biggest issue to Oreki. Sure it was quite a bit over the top in terms of portrayal but here we really see the emphasis of how proud he was about his personal achievement.
If Oreki was beating his head for messing up the conclusion we'd see something worse when he was at his room during his alone time. Alas no, it's just the natural fidgety feeling when something's bothering you. The most he lost his composure was when he uncovered the reality of Irisu's motives.
I dunno, some are kinda being too harsh about that particular scene and seemingly discredits the merit of the situation. This is somewhat ignoring the depiction of Oreki's personality and injecting our own opinions or views on how this particular character should be.
