Editorial policy

Stellar Movie Journal aims to make film discussion clear, careful and useful. We distinguish what a film shows from what we infer, and we make room for correction when a detail is wrong.

Accuracy and clarity

We check factual statements against material appropriate to the subject and avoid claiming certainty where the evidence or interpretation is limited. Articles focus on explaining film choices rather than presenting unsupported claims about artists or production histories. When a point depends on interpretation, we make that status clear.

Independence and partnerships

Editorial decisions are made separately from commercial arrangements. Sponsored or partner material is clearly labelled as such, and a partnership does not guarantee favourable editorial coverage. We do not accept payment in exchange for disguising advertising as independent criticism.

Corrections

If you spot a factual error or unclear passage, use the Contact page and identify the article and point at issue. We review credible correction requests and amend material when warranted; significant changes are identified in the article where appropriate.

Images and tools

Some illustrations on the site may be generated with artificial intelligence. Illustrations are not presented as documentary images or evidence from a film production, and we aim to make their illustrative role clear.
