A Mighty Wind
Scored from 175 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2000s (7,847 peers).
Summary
After the death of folk music promoter Irving Steinbloom, his son organizes a tribute concert at New York's Town Hall reuniting three acts from the 1960s folk revival: The Folksmen, the squeaky-clean New Main Street Singers, and former duo Mitch and Mickey, whose painful breakup still lingers. As the groups rehearse and reminisce, old tensions and romances resurface ahead of the live broadcast.
Released in 2003, A Mighty Wind is a comedy and music film. Inside comedy it is classed as Mockumentary.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 2000s films — 7,847 of them. The calibrated figure is built from 175 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 180 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where A Mighty Wind lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2000s (7,847 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 175.
