Scored from 92 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2020s (7,930 peers).
Summary
Daniel Roher's documentary follows Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny in the months after he was poisoned with the nerve agent Novichok on a 2020 flight from Tomsk and evacuated to Germany for treatment. Recuperating in the Black Forest with his wife Yulia and his staff, he works with Bellingcat investigator Christo Grozev to trace the FSB operatives who had trailed him for years, using leaked flight manifests and phone records. The investigation builds to Navalny cold-calling the suspects himself while posing as a security official. Underneath it all sits the question of whether he will go back to Russia, where arrest awaits him.

A second review pool sits behind it as well: 30 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Only 92 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 98 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. 7,929 other films from the 2020s form the cohort it is ranked inside.
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 Navalny 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 92.
