High
8.2 ★Why we're confident in this score
22,959 ratings, tightly clustered. This score is unlikely to move more than 0.02 with new ratings.
The Math
Prior (global mean)m = 5.985
Prior weightC = 500
Observed ratingsn = 22,959
Observed averageR = 8.21
Posterior mean (Bayesian score)8.16
95% confidence interval±0.0199
Formula: posterior_mean = (n / (n + C)) × R + (C / (n + C)) × m. The confidence interval narrows as more ratings come in. Films with few ratings are pulled toward the global mean.
