My only issue with letterboxd is they pull from TheMovieDB for metadata/director verification and TMDB has some exclusionary/gatekeeping policy where they don’t consider films released primarily on Youtube eligible. This has fucked over indie directors like Joel Haver. I think his fans have manually intervened but no policy has changed that I know of.
Are there any good alternatives anyone can recommend?
Do you think it’s a prelude to in a year or so wanting age verification on accounts?
TheMovieDB.org is the best alternative. Much nicer actually.
I use it and I’ve exported my IMDb reviews to it, but it still lacks the trivia and other cool stuff. I use both, to be clear.
I’ve been using Letterboxd for a while now and am pretty happy with it.

Bummer that they do that. Any platform that you can recommend that addresses that issue and is user-friendly?
On NeoDB, you can create entries yourself, as well as import from various sources: IMDb, TMDB, Letterboxd, Douban etc

Thanks for the link!
You’re welcome :)
Not at the moment, I still use both sites until something better comes along.
Thanks will give it a try.
Rotten Tomato maybe? Also recommendations from critics you like.
