How are these films tagged "slow-burn"?
We infer mood tags from TMDB keywords, runtime, year, genre, and language using rule-based heuristics. A film gets the slow-burn tag when at least one of those rules fires with weight ≥ 0.5. The catalog refreshes the inference every time new films enter.
Why is film X not on this list?
Either the film carries the tag with a weight below our display floor, or it hasn't been indexed yet (we cap at films with ~500+ TMDB votes). If you think a film belongs here, our contact form takes specific suggestions.
