Rate with depth

Cinema isn't one thing. So your rating spans five dimensions, not one number.

Most rating systems give you a single number. Two viewers can both rate the same film 8/10 and mean wildly different things — one was floored by the script, the other by the score and nothing else.

Our rubric splits each rating into five categories — Story, Production & Style, Emotive Effect, Acting & Casting, Pure Entertainment. The deeper you go in each one, the more we learn about how you actually feel about cinema, and the better we can match you with people who feel it the same way.

Where to find it

On any movie or show page, click “Rate this” below the title. Pick the depth you want — quick 1–10 or the full rubric above.

Why use it

The more you rate (and the deeper you go in each category), the more accurate your Ratist estimate becomes on films you haven’t seen — and the closer your taste-twin matches get.
