Film score is a weighted TMDB viewer score; a person's score is the average of their films pulled toward the overall average. Critic Scores (5+ rated reviews per film) are shown beside it and never mixed in. Older films have fewer critic reviews on this site. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
