● About this genre
What we mean by "history"
Historical films, by our definition, are dramatic features set in a documented past with a real-world referent. We file as history when fidelity to period is one of the audience pleasures.
We pair each historical entry with a "true story?" page where we audit how closely the film follows the documented record.
