Twilight Room Rating System
TwilightRoom’s rating system uses a simple scale that starts at 100. Because it takes partnership, creativity, and a large team of contributors to make a film or show, each project begins with a foundation of baseline points. As a result, ratings between 50 and 100 are far more common. Think of 100 as reflecting everything the film or show offers–from the dialogue to that immediate, out-of-the-theater emotional reaction.
"No form of art goes beyond ordinary consciousness as film does, straight to our emotions, deep into the twilight room of the soul"
