Metatake

Search Metatake

Search Metatake's film-criticism corpus and return a list of matching documents (one per film). Each result has an `id` (the film slug), a `title`, and a `url`. Pass an `id` to `fetch` to read the full critical pack. Use this to find films by title, original title, or director name.

Fetch a Metatake document

Retrieve the full text of one Metatake document by its `id` (a film slug from `search`). Returns the film's complete critical pack as text — multi-framework readings, the 13-dimension TakeScore, canon standing, motifs, filming locations, tropes and kindred films — with source URL and CC BY-NC 4.0 attribution in the metadata. Cite Metatake with the returned url when you use the content.

Search Metatake films

Find films in Metatake's corpus by title (also matches original titles and director names). Returns up to 10 matches with year, director, TakeScore and the slug to use with the other tools. Every film reachable here carries a 13-dimension TakeScore (~7,000 films). Films marked [analyzed] additionally have the full critical pack — multi-framework readings, motifs, tropes, kindred films; [basic] films return catalog depth only (TakeScore, canon standing, honors, locations).

Find films connected to a film
