Key Insights

Rating Patterns

Our analysis reveals that movie ratings follow a slightly right-skewed distribution, with a mean rating of approximately 6.3 out of 10. This suggests a general positive bias in how audiences rate films.

Rating Clusters

We identified distinct clustering around certain rating values, particularly at whole and half-point marks (e.g., 7.0, 7.5), indicating that viewers tend to gravitate toward these "anchor" values when rating films.

Temporal Trends

The distribution of ratings has evolved over time, with more recent films (post-2010) showing a slightly higher average rating and narrower distribution compared to older films, suggesting changing audience expectations or rating behaviors.
