To the Wonder
Scored from 149 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: Films · 2010s (13,059 peers).
Summary
An American man and a Ukrainian woman fall in love in France and move with her young daughter to Oklahoma, where their relationship strains under the weight of displacement and doubt. As the woman drifts, the man reconnects with a childhood acquaintance, while a local priest wrestles with his own crisis of faith. Terrence Malick's meditation on love, longing, and grace unfolds in fragmented, lyrical imagery.
To the Wonder is a 2012 drama and romance film.
The calibrated figure is built from 149 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 156 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 482 of whom clear the calibration test. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2010s films — 13,059 of them.
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 To the Wonder 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 149.
