We’ve released new functionality that allows you to filter the list of filmmakers by their country.

Of course, this filtering is only as good as the data. We’ve filled out the data for thousands of actors, directors and screenwriters, but there are many more that need the information. To further that end, as part of this update, we’ve also loosened the restrictions for updating biography information.

Used to be, you had to fill out (a) Nationality, (b) Date of Birth, and (c) Biography, before Criticker would accept the change. Now, you can fill out one, two or all three of the values. So if you know where Lou Diamond Phillips is from, but not when he was born, you can still contribute.

Hope you enjoy the new feature!
