Review bombing LifeHack 2025

Dear IMDb Support, I’m reaching out regarding film Lifehack https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32135632/ , which appears to be experiencing a case of review bombing. The film only just premiered at a SXSW festival and has received overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics and audiences everywhere else (letterdbox etc). However, the sudden influx of unusually low ratings on IMDb does not reflect the actual reception of the film. We kindly ask you to review the voting patterns and take appropriate action to ensure fair and accurate ratings on the platform. If needed, we can provide references to professional reviews and festival reactions to support this concern. Looking forward to your response.

Hi abittoolatefilms, Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Our staff in charge of the voting system will look at this at the earliest opportunity. Though no immediate action may be taken, all reports are carefully examined so please rest assured that this will help us fine-tune and improve the effectiveness of our voting system.

Hi Ozzy, thank you for your reply and for passing this along to the relevant team. However, it’s now been over two months and no visible action has been taken. The film LifeHack continues to show a highly skewed IMDb rating that does not reflect its actual reception at SXSW and beyond, 100% Rotten Tomatoes status, etc. The voting pattern still appears artificial, with a disproportionate number of low ratings soon after the title was listed. We understand these things take time, but we would greatly appreciate a follow-up or confirmation that this is still under review — or, if possible, an update on the outcome. Thank you for your time
