The Fallout (2021) | Rotten Tomatoes (2024)

FAQs

Has anything got 100% on Rotten Tomatoes? ›

A number of these films also appear on the AFI's 100 Years...100 Movies lists, but there are many others and several entries with dozens of positive reviews, which are considered surprising to some experts. To date, Leave No Trace holds the site's record, with a rating of 100% and 252 positive reviews.

As "The Fallout" (2021 release; 96 min.) opens, 16 yr old Vada and her younger sister Amelia are at school. During a bathroom break, Vada runs into Mia, one of the "popular" girls.

A Tomatometer score is calculated for a movie or TV show after it receives at least five reviews. When at least 60% of reviews for a movie or TV show are positive, a red tomato is displayed to indicate its Fresh status.

So when a movie such as “Black Panther” gets a certified “fresh” 97 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, we interpret it as a film that is near perfection, while a film such as last year's “The Emoji Movie” that lands around 9 percent, must be a steaming pile of garbage.

The 99% Club: An Ode to the Almost-Perfect Movie

The 99% Club: You'll find it, way past 98% on the Tomatometer, but just before 100%. Inside, a coterie of cinema's practically-finest, movies promising an experience beyond most others – movies that are almost perfect.

This brings up a deeper idea the ending is conveying, that the heroic actions taken by her friend Nick and others at her school has not been able to prevent another shooting from happening. Her crying illustrates how difficult it is for a child to be hopeful in a world with so much for them to fear.

After another night of drinking, Mia tells Vada that she is falling in love with her, and they have sex. Vada and Nick argue about her poor coping mechanisms, resulting in her venting to Quinton and then trying to kiss him, who gently rejects her as he is not emotionally ready for a relationship.

There's also quite a bit of kissing (same & opposite sex) a sex scene, and some moaning. All in all, the Fallout is a great Drama, that's best left for older teens or maybe the sensitive ones can wait.

More than 40 movies have a 0% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, meaning they received only negative reviews.

What does popcorn mean on Rotten Tomatoes? ›

Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score

The Audience Score is designated by a popcorn bucket. The score is the percentage of users who have rated the movie or show positively.

As the reviews of a given film accumulate, the Rotten Tomatoes score measures the percentage that are more positive than negative, and assigns an overall fresh or rotten rating to the movie. Scores of over 60 percent are considered fresh, and scores of 59 percent and under are rotten.

Other recent series with multiple seasons in the 100% club: The Good Place, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, One Day at a Time, Veep, Fleabag, Jane the Virgin, and Feel Good. Only Murders in the Building season 1 has the most reviews on its perfect 100% score.

Because it's “relatively” easy to get a 100% score after that first handful of reviews (five is the minimum count for a movie to get its Tomatometer), every film listed here has at least crossed the Certified Fresh threshold. Then we sorted them by movies with more reviews featured higher up.

If 60% of reviews are positive, the movie is given a “Fresh” status, but if positive reviews fall below that benchmark, it is deemed “Rotten.” A popular piece of media will typically fall between the 70-90% range, but rarely, a project will receive a 100% score. This means every last review from critics was positive.
