[[https://letterboxd.com/ Letterboxd]] is a social media platform launched in 2011 that allows users to share their opinions on films. Think of it like Website/{{IMDb}} [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] [[Website/{{Twitter}} Film Twitter]], except with less emphasis on information and more emphasis on critique. [[note]]The site doesn't actually use data from Website/{{IMDb}}, though it is compatible in importing data. Website/{{IMDb}}'s information proved too expensive to maintain, so the site uses data directly from [[https://www.themoviedb.org/ The Movie Database (TMDb)]] instead.[[/note]] Users can log the movies they watch and share reviews ranging from analytical essays to just a few brief words about a film. They can also assign movies a star rating out of five, though the ability to reward half-stars makes it a 10-point system.
