No Safe Spaces
Scored from 51 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2010s (13,059 peers).
Summary
Radio hosts Dennis Prager and Adam Carolla travel to American college campuses in this documentary, arguing that free expression there is being narrowed by speech codes, disinvitations and student protest. Directed by Justin Folk, it revisits flashpoints including the 2017 confrontation at Evergreen State College and the unrest over a scheduled speaker at Berkeley, intercut with interviews with figures such as Jordan Peterson, Alan Dershowitz, Cornel West, Van Jones and Tim Allen. Animated sketches and staged comic bits break up the interview material as the two hosts put their case to student audiences and to each other.
Released in 2019, No Safe Spaces is a documentary, news and war film. It is rated PG-13. It was made in the United States. The runtime is 95 minutes.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 2010s films — 13,059 of them. Only 51 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 56 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 150 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
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 Safe Spaces 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 51.
