Critic Shelf: Rate Movies & TV

Critic Shelf is where your film and TV taste stops being a private list.

Rate what you watch from half a star to five. Put the best of it on shelves you arrange and name. Pick your top five films, shows, actors and directors.

Then compare with anyone: how much of your taste overlaps, the films you both loved, and the one you'll argue about.

A social movie tracker and TV show tracker, made for people who love talking about what they watch.

Track and rate documentaries, anime and Korean dramas too, right alongside your films and shows.

Compare your taste
• Open anyone's profile and see how much of your rated films and shows overlap.
• See the titles you both rated four stars or more, and your biggest disagreement if you have one.
• No follow needed on either side. Compare unlocks once you've each rated five titles.
• Share the result as an image.
• Find someone by username, from a review they wrote, or from a link they shared, then compare.

Show your taste
• Four top fives: films, TV shows, directors and actors.
• A short bio and up to five taste tags.
• A taste fingerprint built from your ratings: your top three genres and your favourite decade.
• Choose how your shelf reads: posters, or spines like a real shelf.
• Your profile shows how many films and shows you've rated, and your average for each.

Shelves
• Build up to three shelves of your own, with up to 100 titles each.
• Make each one public or private.
• A shelf is whatever list you want it to be: comfort watches, the ones you'd defend to the end, what to watch with Dad.

Track what you watch
• Rate movies, TV shows, documentaries, anime and K-dramas in half stars.
• Keep a watchlist of what you want to see next.
• Tick off TV series, anime and K-dramas episode by episode across every season, with a progress bar and the next episode up.
• Bring your history over from other apps with Import, so you don't start from zero.
• No separate diary to keep: a film counts as watched once you rate or review it, a show once every episode is ticked.

Review and follow
• Write reviews with a spoiler flag, and choose whether everyone or only your followers can read them.
• Read what other people thought, right under every film and show.
• Like the reviews you enjoy.
• Follow people, and follow the actors and directors you care about.
• Get notified when someone follows you, likes your review, or when someone you follow posts a review.

Find something to watch
• See what's trending this week, popular trailers, upcoming releases and the most searched people, with See all pages for the long lists.
• Browse by genre, including anime and K-dramas, and explore the Film and TV Awards.
• Search films, shows, cast and crew, and other users.
• Every actor and director has a full, dated filmography.

Your profile on the web
• Turn on a public profile at criticshelf.com/u/yourname and share your taste as a link.
• Anyone can open it in a browser, with nothing to install.
• Turn it off and your profile stays inside the app.

If you keep a mental list of every film you've seen and every show you've finished, Critic Shelf is the movie tracker that turns it into something worth sharing.
