What the critics say

Most critics call Black Friday raw, powerful and courageous filmmaking with standout performances, though one review finds it dramatically inert, losing its human story in procedural detail despite fine editing.

How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 4 readings; 1 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
