Is Flee actually good?

Flee sits in the 95.7% percentile against all 52,376 ranked films, meaning it scores above 95.7% of them. That figure is a rank, not a star average: each reviewer's score is re-centred on their own rating history before anything is compared, so a generous grader and a harsh one count the same.

How does Flee compare to similar films?

Within Films · 2020s, Flee lands in the 96.8% percentile. The cohort comparison exists because a global rank flatters or punishes a film for its category rather than its quality.

How many reviewers is Flee's score based on?

76 reviewers cleared the calibration test for Flee — meaning their rating history varies enough to place a personal baseline. Reviewers who rate everything the same carry no information and are excluded rather than averaged in.

How is the Flee score calculated?

Every review is scored relative to the reviewer's own average rather than taken at face value, then each calibrated reviewer is weighted equally and the result is expressed as a percentile against the full corpus. The output is a rank among peers, which is why it is published as a percentile and never as a star rating.

Summary

Amin Nawabi — a pseudonym — is an Afghan-born academic in his thirties, settled in Denmark, on the verge of marrying his boyfriend Kasper and balking at buying a house with him. Lying on the floor of his old friend Jonas Poher Rasmussen's flat, he finally tells the story he has kept hidden for twenty years: a Kabul childhood cut short when his father was taken away, the family's escape to a Moscow unravelling after the Soviet collapse, years dodging extortionate police, and the traffickers who moved his siblings out one at a time. Rasmussen animates the testimony to protect Amin's identity, cutting in archival footage of the places he describes, in a documentary told almost entirely in drawings.

Flee (2021) is a film IMDb files under the animation, biography and documentary genres. It is rated PG-13. Its listed language is Danish. It was made in Denmark. The runtime is 88 minutes.

Only 76 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 77 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 54 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 7,929 2020s films, not against the whole corpus.

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 Flee 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 76.
