Our policy
A correction is a change to a statement of fact: a wrong name, date, credit, running time, certificate, price or availability, or a claim about a film that its sources do not support. We make them within one working day of confirming the error, note the change on the page itself, and log it below. If a correction changes the argument of a review, the review is revised and the previous Fi1m score is shown alongside the new one.
A disagreement about our opinion of a film is not a correction, and we don't log those, although we do read them. If you think we've been unfair, the place to say so is a member review under your own name, beneath ours.
Where an error came from a source we relied on, we say so, and we say what we've changed about the way we use that source.
The log

-
The Holdovers creditThe review credited the cinematography to Eigil Bryld. It is by Eigil Bryld; we had misspelt his surname as "Bryd". Corrected.
-
Killers of the Flower Moon factThe synopsis gave the running time as 196 minutes. The UK theatrical running time is 206 minutes. Corrected, with the source (BBFC) now shown on the page.
-
Shōgun quotationA summary of the critical consensus attributed a phrase to the Guardian's review that appeared in the Telegraph's. Attribution corrected; the summary was re-checked in full.

Civil War review · scoreThe review described a sequence as taking place in Charlottesville; it is set in an unnamed town. Since the point was carrying part of the argument, the paragraph was rewritten. Score unchanged at 85 after re-reading.
