Summary

Released in 1972, Sounder is a drama and family film.

The cohort it is ranked inside is 1970s films — 2,406 of them. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 64 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Only 33 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 34 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
