Summary

Released in 1989, Scandal is a drama and history film.

A second review pool sits behind it as well: 49 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,140 1980s films, not against the whole corpus. Only 35 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 35 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
