A Note on Film Review Scores
We encourage readers to see our scores as part of a conversation, not a verdict.
At Popcorn & Pages, our review scores aren’t just numbers — they’re reflections of craft, collaboration, and storytelling.
Each film is rated across key creative areas including story, visuals, sound, characters, and that elusive “Factor X.” The final score, out of 10, represents an overall measure of how well the film achieves its artistic and emotional intent.
Here’s how to read them:
-
9–10: Excellent — Exceptional storytelling and craftsmanship. A standout piece of cinema.
-
7–8: Great — Strong filmmaking with clear vision and lasting impact.
-
5–6: Good — Solid effort with room for improvement but enjoyable nonetheless.
-
3–4: Ok — Some creative merit but inconsistent or underdeveloped.
-
0–2: Not So Good — Struggles to engage; intent outweighed by execution.
