The Film Reality is a place to log every film, TV show, and soundtrack you care about, and find more by paying attention to what your friends and the community are watching.
Tap + Entry in the top corner and pick what you're adding: a film, a TV show, a soundtrack, a journal entry, or a short clip. Search the title, give it a rating if you want, write a few words or a few thousand, and save.
Search comes from TMDB, so anything that's been released (and a lot that hasn't) is in there. For shows, you can track at the season or episode level.
Searched against Apple Music's catalog. Score albums, song-driven needle drops, and standalone releases that exist because of a film all live here.
A private (or public) running journal for half-thoughts, reading notes, things you saw at festivals, whatever doesn't fit a single film.
Short video clips and stills, with hashtags. Pin your favorites to your profile.
We use a 0–10 diamond scale, not five stars. More room to be honest.
You can also log something with no rating, just as a record that you saw it. The diary still counts it.
When you log a film, tap Watched with and tag the people you saw it with. They get a notification and can accept the tag. Once they do, the film appears in their diary too, linked back to your review.
Co-watched entries show both faces on the review card. Good for movie nights, festival dates, ten-hour rewatch marathons with the same person.
Watchlist is the running pile of stuff you mean to get to. Private to you. Add anything with one tap from a detail page.
Collections are the lists you build with intention. Rank them or don't. Make them public or keep them to yourself. "Best needle drops of the 2010s." "Films I watched on the plane." "Every movie my therapist mentioned." You get the idea.
Open Settings → Profile to set the things that show up on your public page:
Your URL is filmreality.com/@yourname. Change your username any time. Old ones redirect.
The home page is a magazine, not a feed. Sections rotate as the community moves, but you'll usually see:
A carousel tuned to what you've rated highly.
Films, TV, and soundtracks the community is logging right now.
What's actually playing this week.
A masonry of posters and backdrops curated from logged entries.
Stills, clips, and frames worth staring at.
Long-form writing from contributors: reviews, essays, dispatches.
If you follow people, the Activity feed shows up here too, with the reviews they just posted and the films they just logged.
Every film detail page has a Where to Watch panel. It lists the streaming services where the film is currently available in your country.
In Settings → Subscriptions, tell us which services you actually pay for (Netflix, Disney+, Max, MUBI, Criterion Channel, whatever you've got). After that, the panel highlights the ones you can watch and warns you when something's not on your subscriptions.
Follow people. Comment on reviews, collections, and articles. Like things.
The Notifications page is the inbox for everything: watched-with requests, new followers, comments on your reviews, likes, mentions. Toggle email and push on or off in Settings.
Settings → Privacy lets you go private (follow requests required), hide your likes, or hide your journal.
Drop #hashtags into any review and they become real tags: clickable, searchable, with their own pages. Build a personal taxonomy: #rewatch, #plane, #lana-needledrops, #2026-best. Whatever helps future-you find past-you's takes.
On Letterboxd, go to Settings → Import & Export → Export Your Data and download the ZIP. On The Film Reality, go to Settings → Data → Import from Letterboxd and drop it in.
Letterboxd's 0.5–5 star ratings convert to our 0–10 diamond scale (×2). You'll see a preview where you can adjust any rating before committing.
The basics — logging, rating, reviewing, lists, follows, comments — are free forever. Premium adds:
Billed monthly or annually. Cancel any time in Settings → Billing.
If someone's review, profile, or comment crosses the line, hit the three-dot menu → Report. Reports go straight to our moderation queue and most are reviewed within 24 hours.
You can also block someone directly from their profile. They can't see your posts or message you, and they aren't notified.
On iOS Safari, open the share sheet and tap Add to Home Screen. You'll get an icon that launches like a real app, full-screen, no browser chrome. Same on Android via Chrome's "Install app" menu.
A native iOS/Android release is in progress. The web app is the truth in the meantime. Every feature on this page works on your phone.
