Fresh and Rotten were a part of Rotten Tomatoes from the very beginning, but over time it started to make sense for us to add another layer of distinction for those films that were particularly well-received. Not only would it help us, as a fledgling website, raise our profile in the industry, but it would also serve to reward studios and filmmaker...
At one point, Paddington 2 became the best-reviewed movie on Rotten Tomatoes, with a perfect 100% Tomatometer score after hundreds of reviews, but that impressive record came to an end in 2021 with the film’s first Rotten review. The crown now resides with Debra Granik’s low-key drama Leave No Trace, with mainstays like Pixar’s Toy Story 2 and the ...
In many ways, the modern era of superhero cinema can trace its roots back to 2008, the year when a pair of comic book movies took the world by storm. One of them was Marvel’s Iron Man, which of course kickstarted the blockbuster machine we all now know as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the other was DC’s The Dark Knight, the second chapter in C...
Controversy and heated debate about Todd Phillips‘ Joker seemed to follow little ol’ Arthur Fleck wherever he waltzed, from the movie’s riff on early Martin Scorsese films to its sympathetic viewpoint, which was thought to possibly inspire actual violence, to even its Tomatometer score. All of this added up to the most talked-about movie on Rotten ...
With the rise in ticket prices over the last two decades and the popularization of 3D, IMAX, and other screen innovations, it’s probably no surprise that of the top 25 highest worldwide-grossing films, only one of them was released prior to 2000. That film was James Cameron’s epic romance Titanic, which opened in 1997 and currently sits comfortably...
My Big Fat Greek Wedding was the little film that could. The romantic comedy, which was based on a one-woman stage production and written by its star, Nia Vardalos, opened on April 19, 2002 in very limited release before it was slowly discovered by audiences and subsequently booked by more theaters. It didn’t even hit 600 theaters until its 16th we...
“Most Oscar Nominations” can be a rather dubious accolade unless it’s followed by an equally impressive list of Oscar wins. With that in mind, it’s somewhat fitting that the film that earned this distinction over the course of the last 25 years is also one remembered more for the the Oscar gaffe it’s most associated with: “Envelopegate.” We are, of...
The term “masterpiece” is a frequently misappropriated distinction, but it’s entirely warranted in the case of Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy. It’s also the only distinction worthy of the film from that franchise that not only earned the most Academy Awards in the last 25 years, but also became the only movie with more than 10 Oscar ...
One of the early goals of streaming giant Netflix when it began creating original content was legitimacy within the industry. This is why they acquired theaters, donated to film festivals, threw lavish events, and ingratiated themselves to the old Hollywood that their new platform would disrupt. They spared no expense and courted top talent at ever...
After the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in 2020 and changed the way we did, well, pretty much everything, one of the biggest industries to suffer — and quite publicly, at that — was the movie industry. When theaters completely shut down, studios scrambled to reschedule their film releases, hoping things would return to “normal” sooner rather than lat...

- 'Weekend' (2011) Heady but grounded in pragmatic reality, ecstatically romantic but marbled with sobering veins of melancholy, Andrew Haigh’s immersive account of a steamy hookup between two gay Nottingham men unfolds over 48 hours in what feels almost like real time.
- 'Black Panther' (2018) Navigating the Marvel Cinematic Universe — or is it a Multiverse now? — requires, for many of us, a certain tolerance for green or LED screens, mass destruction, snarky dialogue and cosmic shtick.
- 'Time' (2020) Garrett Bradley’s documentary observes the brutality of the American carceral system from an uncommon vantage point. The filmmaker jettisons the expository soundbites of talking heads and the contextual support of charts and numbers, choosing instead to construct an impressionistic portrait of one family’s specific experience.
- 'Bright Star' (2009) It’s the story of an unconsummated love affair in the final years of John Keats’ short life. Catnip for English majors? No question.
