Soft & Quiet
Two parallel scores from 129 z-qualifying reviewers and 131 raw-average reviewers. Cohort: Films · 2020s (7,930 peers).
Z-normalized corrects for reviewer bias (every reviewer re-centered onto their personal scale). Raw average uses simple mean across the broader pool including stddev=0 reviewers. The 17-point gap is the rating-inflation signature for this title — discriminating reviewers liked it more than the casual crowd.

Summary
A kindergarten teacher hosts an inaugural meeting of a far-right women's group at a local church, where the gathering quickly escalates from polite resentment into a single-take spiral of violence after a chance encounter with two Asian American sisters at a grocery store. Shot in real time, the film follows the women through one increasingly horrifying evening.
