Summary
Three interwoven dark fairy tales adapted from Giambattista Basile's 17th-century Neapolitan collection. A barren queen makes a grim bargain to bear a child, a king becomes obsessed with a mysterious flea, and two elderly sisters scheme to seduce a lustful monarch. Directed by Matteo Garrone, the film blends grotesque fantasy and baroque visuals to explore obsession, vanity, and desire.
Released in 2015, Tale of Tales is a drama, fantasy and horror film.
The calibrated figure is built from 128 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 133 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 161 of whom clear the calibration test. 13,058 other films from the 2010s form the cohort it is ranked inside.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Tale of Tales lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 128.
