Summary
In Hollywood, a scarred and troubled young woman returns from a psychiatric institution and insinuates herself into the orbit of a self-absorbed celebrity family: a fading actress chasing her dead mother's role, a child-star brother fresh out of rehab, and their TV-guru father. As buried secrets and incestuous family curses surface, their interconnected lives spiral toward violence.
Released in 2014, Maps to the Stars is a comedy, drama and mystery film.
Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 398 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 148 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 149 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2010s films — 13,059 of them.
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 Maps to the Stars 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 · 2010s (13,059 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 148.
