A note on trust and transparency
Editorial policy
Your opinion is yours. The information about a title may come from somewhere else. Here's how those two things work together on Flickbook.

The distinction that matters
Member perspectives, third-party title information.
Reviews and lists reflect the people who made them. Film and TV descriptions, images, credits, and some catalogue ratings come from external metadata, including The Movie Database (TMDB).
Who writes the content?
Flickbook members write reviews, build lists, rate titles, keep diary entries, and create their profiles. These are their own perspectives and do not necessarily represent Flickbook's views.
How should I read the ratings?
Members can rate films and shows on a five-star scale. Ratings shown for films and TV shows in discovery may originate from TMDB and are not necessarily averages of Flickbook member ratings. Different sources can have different audiences and scores.
What about spoilers?
Reviews can be marked as containing spoilers. Flickbook conceals marked spoiler text until a reader chooses to reveal it. A label depends on the review author marking their content appropriately; not every unmarked review is guaranteed to be spoiler-free.
Who curates the lists?
List creators choose their titles and, for ranked lists, the order. Public lists are shared with the community. An appearance on a member's list is not an endorsement by Flickbook, and private or unlisted collections are not part of public list discovery.
Where does film and TV information come from?
Flickbook uses the TMDB API for title data such as descriptions, credits, release details, and artwork. Third-party information may be incomplete or change over time.
