Summary
A Korean American family moves from California to rural Arkansas in the 1980s, where the father pursues his dream of starting a farm to grow Korean produce. As the family adjusts to their new life in a cramped trailer home, the arrival of the wife's eccentric mother from Korea reshapes the bond with her young grandson and tests the family's resilience amid financial strain and marital tension.
Minari (2020) is a film IMDb files under the drama genre.
Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 304 of whom clear the calibration test. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 7,929 2020s films, not against the whole corpus. The calibrated figure is built from 397 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 410 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 Minari 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 397.
