Summary
In 1992, as fighting between Georgia and Abkhazian separatists empties an Estonian settlement in Abkhazia, elderly carpenter Ivo stays behind to build crates for his neighbour Margus, who is desperate to bring in his tangerine crop before the war reaches the grove. A skirmish outside Ivo's door leaves two wounded men in his house: Ahmed, a Chechen mercenary fighting for the Abkhaz, and Niko, a Georgian volunteer. Each swears to kill the other as soon as he can stand, and Ivo extracts a promise that no blood will be spilled under his roof. Zaza Urushadze's chamber drama was an Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Language Film.

Only 92 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 96 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2010s films — 13,059 of them. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 76 of whom clear the calibration test.
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 Tangerines 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 92.
