Criticism of the 20th ce Liturgical Movement

One participant makes some claims about Dom Beauduin and the 20th ce Liturgical Movement in the combox for the posting of the video of last week's appearance of Fr. Calvin Goodwin and Deacon Rhone Lillard on EWTN Live. Are some of the same claims made in Fr. Didier Bonneterre's Liturgical Movement? Is it really "clericalist" for the laity to understand the prayers of the priest or their own specific parts of the liturgy? Where is the balance to be found between intelligibility of the liturgy and the conveyance of transcendence?
