Review Bombing on The Edge (2025) — Request for IMDb Assistance

Hi Maya, Thank you for the quick response. We’ve reviewed the FAQ and noted this section under “Some users rated 1/10 for a well-reviewed title, so these ratings must be fake. Can you remove them?” While we completely understand IMDb’s approach to allowing all users to rate freely, in this case, the concern isn’t about differing opinions — it’s about access. The Edge is currently only available to stream in Australia and New Zealand via Netflix ANZ, yet a large portion of the 1-star reviews are coming from regions where the film is not available to view at all (e.g., the U.S., U.K., Canada, and the Netherlands). Therefore, these users cannot have seen the film legitimately and cannot be bringing a genuine personal opinion to their rating. We just want to ensure this is recognised as a potential case of ineligible or inauthentic voting rather than simple rating variance. We’d greatly appreciate any further review or escalation of this issue to protect the integrity of the film’s page. Thanks again!

@cullen3lite Please also see this question from the Ratings FAQ: A movie/series was never shown outside the USA and yet you show several ratings from non-US users. Clearly these are fake and should be removed? Location information is based on the country/region of residence the user provided when they registered with the site or subsequently designated in Change Your Details, not when they rated. An example: if a Swiss national registers with IMDb and enters their location as Switzerland, then visits the United States and sees a movie at a festival while in the US, and then rates it, the rating will be recorded as coming from a non-US user
