An end-of-year summary of the films I watched in 2025.

As the year goes on and I'm 60+ films deep (and I look back at last year's 100+ ratings), it's dawned on me that I rate far too many films as 7 or 8 out of 10 and very few films 5/10 (I don't think I've ever given below a 4/10).

It skews my ratings artificially high and devalues the top ratings for those films that deserve it. Conversely, the stinkers don't get singled out either. To demonstrate this, my Letterboxd ratings are were* a mess. A different approach is needed.

*Letterboxd ratings now amended!
