Editorial policy

Clear Movie Guide aims to make film choices easier to notice and discuss. We write with care, distinguish observation from interpretation and correct meaningful errors when readers bring them to our attention.

Accuracy and clarity

We check names, terminology and factual statements before publication, and make clear when a point is an interpretation rather than a verifiable fact. Articles should explain their ideas in plain language and avoid presenting one reading of a film as the only possible one. When a claim needs context, we include it or narrow the claim.

Independence and corrections

Editorial decisions are made for relevance to readers and are not promises of favourable coverage. If a published article contains a factual error, readers can contact us with the correction and the passage in question. We review the information and update the article when warranted; a correction should make the change clear rather than quietly leaving a material error in place.

Partner material

Any paid, supplied or partner-supported material will be clearly identified as such, so readers can distinguish it from independent editorial work. A partnership does not guarantee a particular editorial view, recommendation or review.

Illustrations

Some illustrations may be generated with AI. Where an illustration is AI-generated, we identify it accordingly. Illustrations are used to support the page, not as evidence of how a real film scene or object appears.
