Citizen Kane, All About Eve, Singing’ in the Rain, North by Northwest, M, Seven Samurai, and Twelve Angry Men are all classic movies that hold the ever-coveted titled of 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.
For many years, there has been one film above the rest: Toy Story 2. The 1999 sequel is the most-reviewed movie on the aggregate website which still holds the 100% rating.
However, Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird, currently playing in US cinemas, has surpassed Toy Story’s 163 glowing reviews. The coming-of-age flick has almost 170 positive write-ups.
“We put our heart and souls into this movie, and the last step of this deeply collaborative art form of filmmaking is giving the film to the audience and the film critics,” said Gerwig.
“That there has been such a warm reception is a dream come true. Thank you to everyone who has seen the film and has written about it so thoughtfully. We are all on cloud nine and using our tomato emoji more than we ever thought possible.”
However, it is possible for Lady Bird to fall from its position with the movie coming to the UK next year and critics soon to start posting their reviews, one bad piece could ruin an otherwise perfect score. But that only time will tell.
