needlessly picky, mostly romance adjacent. had a spreadsheet of ratings before I even knew this site existed.

rating criteria 

• chemistry- do the leads look like they like each other?
• acting- is it cringe or nah? is it stiff?
• writing/directing- how's the dialogue? pacing? consistent tone and mood?
• story- do I care about what happens to these people? am I invested until the end? how are the overall themes?
• special points
  • did it make me cry? +3
  • did it make me tear up? +2
  • did it make me gasp? +1
  • did it cheat me in the end? -3
