Where the critics and the culture disagree
Every film we carry two verdicts on, ranked by the distance between them. The Kitchen is verified critics of the culture. The Table is the audience that bought the ticket. Nobody else publishes both numbers separately, so nobody else can publish this.
The Kitchen is young. Most scores here rest on one or two critics, and every row prints its own n so you can weigh it yourself.
