The Idea of You
Scored from 263 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2020s (7,930 peers).
Summary
Solene, a 40-year-old single mother and Los Angeles gallery owner, reluctantly chaperones her daughter to Coachella, where a chance encounter leads to a romance with Hayes Campbell, the 24-year-old lead singer of the world's biggest boy band. As their relationship deepens, they must navigate the relentless scrutiny of fame, tabloid backlash, and the strain it puts on her family and his career.
Released in 2024, The Idea of You is a comedy, drama and music film. Its comedy subtype is Romcom.
A second review pool sits behind it as well: 156 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 263 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 280 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 7,929 2020s films, not against the whole corpus.
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 The Idea of You 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 · 2020s (7,930 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 263.
