Summary

Taboo is a 1999 drama, history and thriller film.

Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 4,081 1990s 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 36 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 177 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
