My film's rating doesn't make sense
Hello, my film "rook." (link - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8487982/ratings/?ref_=tt_ov_rat) has a 3.9 rating. But when I look at the metrics, there are way more higher ratings than low ratings. This doesn't seem to make sense. Can you help me understand?
Here's a screenshot of the metrics I'm looking at. 
Thank you!

Hi SMorganstern-
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
We are aware that there are people who may vote for the sole purpose of trying to inflate/deflate the rating for a movie. We have several safeguards in place to automatically detect and defeat this type of ballot stuffing: even though we count and display all unaltered votes in the rating breakdown, we apply several countermeasures against all attempts to skew the rating for the weighted rating you see displayed on the site. We will review the title in question to ensure that the weighted average is displaying as intended.
For more information on our abuse detection methods, or details about IMDb ratings and weighted averages, please refer to our Ratings FAQ.
Cheers!
