Cannot add user review with one movie

There is one movie Marighella https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7825208 which does not allow me to add a user review. There is no "review this title" link anywhere on the page. Problem is the same under Windows as well as on my iPhone, so I assume that there is something wroing with the movie database ietself.

I'm a reasonably experienced writer of user reviews on IMDB (over 400 already posted), so I'm not really thinking this is a typical "user error".

Hi,

Right after a few shows at the Berlinale last months, there was a flood of over 20,000 reviews from Brazil against the film, from people who could not have seen the movie, only on political grounds. They were wiped out and the movie is probably still locked and protected against that vandalism.

Thanks for the quick reply. So this is not a database error, but a deliberate stop on the wrong sort of "user" input.

I understand the lock. I'll keep my draft review for later. I'll check in about some weeks from now whether the stop still is effective. No hurry.

If and when it is ever released in Brazil will most likely be when you can vote on it and review it.
I would not hold my breath!

I understand your last sentence all to well.

But it is the very first time that I see this phenomen so extensive. I saw it a few times before on a small scale, say a handfull, but 20,000 is way above my imagination.

There were some screen shots of Facebook groups calling to come on IMDb to protest against it...

Even if Marighella is never released in Brazil, if it goes on general release in some other country or countries, hopefully it will be opened for ratings and reviews at that time.

Actually it was 20,000 votes and a little over a thousand reviews.
The current Brazilian Government specifically told it's people to post reviews and what to say in the review and give the movie a 1 rating.

See this is the good way. Data after a question is asked and responded to. Adding extra data is good. As a first answer it's not so good. Good job, ACT_1. Now if you would just add Context to each data grouping it would be oh so excellent.
Cheers!

These were not needed. We all knew what the title was. It was in the description.

There are 2 views / versions of title pages - most folks here only list 1
Grouping the titles with the Other links saves bouncing up n down the thread
to find the title link
