Production notes

How we score and how the prop list works.

  1. 01.Every film gets one score out of five: what it does well and badly, weighed against what critics have written. We link the reviews we read.
  2. 02.Films are scored out of five. Products are suggestions that suit the film and aren’t scored.
  3. 03.No spoilers past the first act unless the review says so at the top.
  4. 04.Links are affiliate links, marked sponsored. We may earn a commission, but your price doesn’t change, and nobody pays for a score.
