Drawn from the film archive pages on this site.
Basic page
This site is a film reference and review archive. Every film page carries a plot summary, a signed review, a rating, the release date, the director and the principal cast. Films are added when they have had a public release; unreleased titles are not listed.
Reviews are written by the editorial team and signed. Plot summaries are factual and written separately from the review, so a summary never argues a position.
Basic page
Every film page shows a rating out of 10 with one decimal place.
The rating is the reviewer's own score, not an average of readers and not imported from another site. It is set when the review is published and is not adjusted afterwards, even when a film's reputation changes.
Basic page
This page states how reviews are commissioned, written and corrected.
Reviewers are not paid by studios, distributors or streaming services. Press screenings, screeners and festival accreditation are accepted; travel and accommodation paid for by a distributor are declined. Any remaining relationship between a reviewer and a film is disclosed in the review itself.
Basic page
Reviews avoid spoilers for the first four weeks after a film's general release.
Anything that a viewer could not reasonably expect from the trailer or the premise: the identity of a killer, a death, a twist, or the ending. The existence of a twist is itself treated as a spoiler.
Plot summaries describe the setup and the first act only. They are written to be safe to read before watching. Where a summary has to mention a later event to make sense at all, the page carries a spoiler warning above it.
Basic page
We take pitches from writers who are not on staff.
Send a single paragraph describing the film and the argument you want to make, plus two links to published work, to pitches@example.com. Do not send a finished review; we commission from pitches.
A specific argument about one film. We do not commission unfocused round-ups, ranked lists, or reviews of films that have been out for more than a year unless there is a reason now.
Basic page
Film pages do not carry national age certificates, because they differ by country and change over time.
Where a film contains material a viewer might want warning about — sexual violence, suicide, child harm, sustained animal cruelty, or flashing imagery that can trigger seizures — the review states it plainly in the last paragraph, under the heading "Warnings".
Films known to contain sequences that can trigger photosensitive epilepsy are flagged whether or not the effect is severe.
Basic page
We correct factual errors quickly and visibly.
Email corrections@example.com with the page address and what is wrong. Errors of fact — a wrong year, a miscredited director, a misspelled name — are fixed within two working days.
The page is corrected and a dated note is added at the foot of the article saying what changed. We do not silently edit a published page to change its meaning.
Basic page
One email a week, on Friday morning, listing what we published and one recommendation from the archive.
Enter your address in the form in the site footer. You will get a confirmation email; the subscription only starts once you click the link in it.
It is used to send the newsletter and nothing else. We do not sell or share it, and we do not track which links you open.
Basic page
We aim to meet WCAG 2.2 level AA across the site.
All content is reachable by keyboard, headings are used in order, and text contrast meets AA. Every image carries alternative text; decorative images are marked as decorative so screen readers skip them. The site works at 400% zoom without horizontal scrolling.
