Find the films —
and the people —
who share your taste.
Every film in our catalog is read by a human and scored across twelve axes of its actual character — mood, pacing, weirdness, hope, warmth, auteur signature. That's your Movie DNA. We use it to pick what you watch tonight — and to introduce you to people whose taste genuinely fits yours. No stars. No averages. No algorithm guessing your demographic.
We don't average stars.
We read the film.
A score of 7.8 tells you nothing about whether you'll like it. So we don't use one. A human scores every film across twelve continuous axes of its actual character, then derives a colour palette from its cinematography. That fingerprint is what we match — film to film, and person to person.
It's a dating app
for your taste in film.
Once we know your Movie DNA, we can find the people who share it. Match with your taste twins, see exactly where you align and where you'll happily argue, and turn it into an actual movie night — together or across the world.

How is this different from Letterboxd or IMDb?+
They log and average what crowds think. We read each film’s character on twelve axes by hand, so we can match a film — and a person — to your actual taste, not a 7.8.
What is "Movie DNA"?+
A continuous 12-axis profile (mood, pacing, weirdness, hope, stakes, humour, reality, density, warmth, auteur, intensity, era) hand-scored for all 5,042 films and computed for you from a 3-minute calibration.
How does matching with people work?+
Your DNA is a vector. So is everyone else’s. We find the people closest to yours — your taste twins — and show where you align and where you’ll enjoy disagreeing. It’s in private beta now.
Do I need an account to start?+
No. Calibrate your taste first and see your fingerprint. Save it with a one-tap magic link when you want to keep it and unlock matching.
Your taste deserves
better than a 7.8.
Three minutes. Twelve axes. One fingerprint that finds your films — and your people.
