The Last Lear
Two parallel scores from 144 z-qualifying reviewers and 165 raw-average reviewers. Cohort: Films · 2000s (7,847 peers).
Z-normalized corrects for reviewer bias (every reviewer re-centered onto their personal scale). Raw average uses simple mean across the broader pool including stddev=0 reviewers. The 46-point gap is the rating-inflation signature for this title — the casual crowd liked it more than discriminating reviewers (a classic inflation pattern).

Summary
A reclusive, retired Shakespearean stage actor obsessed with King Lear is coaxed out of seclusion by an ambitious filmmaker to play a pivotal role in his new movie. As shooting progresses, the clash between the old thespian's theatrical idealism and the manipulative realities of cinema builds toward a dangerous on-set stunt, framed through the recollections of the women in his life.
