No Other Land
Scored from 56 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2020s (7,930 peers).
Summary
Basel Adra is a young Palestinian activist from Masafer Yatta, a cluster of hamlets in the southern West Bank that the Israeli military designated a firing zone, and he has been filming soldiers and bulldozers arriving to demolish his neighbors' homes, wells and school since he was a child. Over several years of shooting he works alongside Yuval Abraham, an Israeli journalist who reports on the destruction and then drives home on roads Basel is barred from using, and the two argue about risk, patience and whether coverage changes anything. The documentary is credited to a Palestinian-Israeli collective of four directors — Adra, Abraham, Hamdan Ballal and Rachel Szor — and won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.
Released in 2024, No Other Land is a documentary film. Its country of origin is listed as Palestine. It plays in Arabic. It runs 1h 32m.
7,929 other films from the 2020s form the cohort it is ranked inside. Only 56 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 58 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 31 of whom clear the calibration test.
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 No Other Land 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 56.
