Seasons: Autumn (1980)

The Radar read

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

Synopsis

As summer fades into the golden days of autumn, chattering streams of children converge again on neglected schools to renew friendships and share the adventures of vacations. Leaves flame into scarlet, and beneath the dull warmth of October's sunshine, the morning air takes on a sharp cool edge. Animals stir to prepare for winter. Footballs fill the air. Fat pumpkins are transformed into leering monsters as unearthly little demons waft through the darkness of Halloween. Leaves curl into brittle shells and float to earth to the be raked into burial mounds. Homes are filled with the intoxicating smells of turkey and cranberries and pumpkin pie.

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.
