How We Rate

We rate movies and shows before they’re released so you can make decisions about what to go see at the theater and what to watch on television and streaming services. We update ratings as additional information is available.

Our ratings criteria are based on quantitative information we gather from a variety of sources. These criteria include who is behind the camera, who is listed as lead actor, and the make-up of the actors on screen.

What We Reccomend

Movies and television shows that score 5.5 and above
