Summary
When American airspace closed on 11 September 2001, thirty-eight airliners were diverted to Gander, Newfoundland, putting some seven thousand passengers into a town of about nine thousand for five days. Irene Sankoff and David Hein's musical gives twelve actors dozens of parts, among them the mayor, a constable, an SPCA volunteer, an American Airlines captain, a mother awaiting word from her firefighter son in New York and an Egyptian chef met with suspicion, as the islanders improvise beds, meals and reassurance for stranded strangers. Christopher Ashley directs this filmed capture of the Broadway staging, shot at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre in May 2021 before an audience that included 9/11 survivors.
Come from Away (2021) is a film IMDb files under the comedy, drama and musical genres. It is rated PG-13. The runtime is 111 minutes. It was made in Canada.
A second review pool sits behind it as well: 17 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 7,929 other films from the 2020s form the cohort it is ranked inside. Only 37 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 39 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
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 Come from Away 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 · 2020s (7,930 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 37.
