Scored from 370 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2020s (7,930 peers).
Summary
A talented Mexican lawyer is hired by a feared cartel leader to help him fake his death and transition into the woman he has always longed to be. Years later, the two reunite as the lawyer is pulled back into the orbit of the now-reinvented Emilia Perez, whose attempts to reconnect with her former family and atone for past sins set off dangerous consequences.
Released in 2024, Emilia Pérez is a crime, drama and musical film.
7,929 other films from the 2020s form the cohort it is ranked inside. The calibrated figure is built from 370 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 382 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 Emilia Pérez 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 370.
