Summary

Permanent Record is a 1988 drama, music and romance film.

Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,140 1980s films, not against the whole corpus. Only 20 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 20 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 62 of whom clear the calibration test.
