Lady Bird isn’t just one of the best movies of 2017. It might be the best-reviewed movie of all time, at least according to the Tomatometer.

That statement comes with a lot of caveats, of courseRotten Tomatoes has only been around for a couple of decades; its system isn’t built for nuanced opinions; and its formula rewards certain kinds of movies over others.

But the point still stands: As of this writing, of all the purely 100% fresh movies on Rotten Tomatoes, Lady Bird has the most reviews.

#LadyBird (165 reviews) has now become the most reviewed film to ever remain at 100% on the #Tomatometer, topping Toy Story 2 (163 reviews)! https://t.co/HJBZl4BEmn pic.twitter.com/DwrIouQ4Qw
