ERROR FILM "SANGUE SUL SAGRATO"
The original title of the film is "RAPTURE", it is not "SANGUE SUL SAGRATO". The film “SANGUE SUL SAGRATO” (1951) has nothing to do with “RAPTURE” (italian title “IN ESTASI”) (1949-1950). IT IS FALSE TO SAY THAT THERE ARE 2 VERSIONS OF THE SAME FILM. The Italian version of “RAPTURE” is just “IN ES

Review got declined for no apparent reason
Hi, I was so excited to write the review for an Indian movie called "Kathal", that's streaming on Netflix, as there were 0 user reviews before me and I also loved the movie. But to my shock, the review got declined and I didn't say anything wrongly or spoilers. So can anyone guess why it was decl

Pronoun trouble
There was recently a discussion about how Elliot Page is listed in IMDb (see https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/elliot-page/5fe1c217213e1d6428fb5e1b), and I hate to belabor this issue, but I've had a correction rejected twice which I believe should be ac

Movie review not getting published. What's the problem?
Hi, my review (my account https://www.imdb.com/user/ur43903214/?ref_=nv_usr_prof_2 ) for this movie https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4697586/ was submitted twice but both times nothing happened (I just received the email receipt).

List of inappropriate words/topics
I've noticed that if I review a film honestly, using every day words (not vulgarities), and, perhaps, sometimes using acronyms for phrases that I know IMDB will flag (but not putting the acronyms in caps), IMDB will decline the review. It's really hard for me to understand why. I have seen so many r

Why is my review continually declined?
This is not the first time that I have had to re-submit a review multiple times in order for it to be published, while I can find absolutely nothing within the text that breaks your TOS. The first few reviews, I noted that I had to remove any and all "foul language", despite this not being in your T

Not getting a review-denied response, leaves people unaware...
Not getting a review-denied response, leaves people unaware that they need to give their review another go,.. ... and that's even if expecting (unreasonably) that they will be necessarily able to work out what they did wrong. Having to keep copies yourself, should not be necessary, if IMDB jus

Night Drive (2019)
A review posted for this film is blatantly false, and admits so in its opening words. I reported it for not being a genuine review, quoting the clause from IMDb submission guidelines that it breaches, but my reports have been rejected twice. Does IMDb now accept dishonest and deceptive reviews?

Review deleted for unknown reasons a second time
I wrote a review for The Irishman back when it came out at the end of 2019. It had no spoilers but was given a spoiler warning after about a year. Now, it's simply disappeared. It was up for almost two years and was then removed without warning and without any reasons given. I got it recovered after

Imdb is taking a political stand ?
I wrote a review on the Netflix show Sex Education, at the time it did not occur to me that it would be such a big deal, as I am not from the U.S. How touchy the subject was occured to me after my review was declined. I did not attack anyone in particular but just called the show a bit shallow for
