The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

In an ordinary city prison the unbelievable happens: the wall of the building collapses. The management of the city and the prison is forced to urgently find new apartments for their wards, and they honorably get out of this difficult situation in a very original way - criminals are moved in with persistent non-payers for the apartment.

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
