Summary

Released in 1989, Sweetie is a comedy and drama film.

Only 26 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 26 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside is 1980s films — 3,141 of them. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 80 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
