"Little people trusted with one piece of jewelry; tragic results." Criticle serves five one-star reviews a day, each describing a famous film with deliberate, deadpan wrongness — technically accurate, spiritually criminal. Name the film being panned.
Each round's lightbulb reveals the film's top-billed star — often all you need to collapse the possibilities. Hints are tallied in your share result.
Reviews never use title words, character names or actor names, so the clues live in plot logistics: objects, occupations, locations and numbers. Treat oddly specific details as anchors — "twenty-two miles", "pottery class", "coconut-based transport" each identify exactly one film. The round order is a difficulty curve: round one is a film everyone has seen, round five rewards the deep-catalogue viewer. And if a review sounds like the most boring film ever made, you're probably reading about a masterpiece — that's the whole bit.
