How I rate films
0.5 out of 5
I actively hate it and wish it didn’t exist.
1.0 out of 5
It really annoyed me and I could not finish it. Even if I did manage to finish it, it’s only because I had nothing better to do—I knew it was doomed beyond doubt the whole time.
1.5 out of 5
I had to twist my arm to sit through it, either because I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt or because of some morbid curiosity, and regretted it afterwards.
2.0 out of 5
The film made an earnest attempt to tell a story, but does not succeed. It has no other redeeming qualities, and the story is trite. Nonetheless, I am okay with having spent time watching it.
2.5 out of 5
The film does not fully work, but is partially redeemed by at least one thing that it does well.
3.0 out of 5
The film manages to tell a story with consistent execution and manages to keep me entertained for more than half of its runtime.
3.5 out of 5
3, but either the story itself or the way of storytelling is also fresh and exciting.
4.0 out of 5
Fantastic story told in a highly innovative and interesting way, with standout performances from the cast. Probably made me cry.
4.5 out of 5
Phenomenal cinematic achievement that destroys me or otherwise manages to shake me to my core.
5.0 out of 5
Viewing this film was a life changing experience that has left a recognizable mark on my soul.
