Frequently Asked Questions

All Ones That Got Away is your go-to sanctuary for all things underrated, overlooked, and criminally ignored in film and television. We spotlight hidden gems — from indie festival darlings to cult classics that somehow slipped under the mainstream radar — with deep dives, thoughtful reviews, and plenty of love for the strange, bold, and beautiful. If you've ever thought, “Why has no one heard of this masterpiece?”, you’ve found your people.

We're picky, in the best way possible. We don’t chase trends — we chase stories that move us. Our selection is based on artistic merit, emotional resonance, cultural relevance, and whether it made us say, “How has this not gone viral yet?” Expect a bias toward indie magic, global voices, queer narratives, and genre cinema that dares to be different.

Every review on All Ones That Got Away is crafted by a real, slightly obsessive human with a deep love for cinema. No AI-generated blurbs here — just genuine opinions, personal insights, and the occasional passionate rant. We believe storytelling deserves real storytellers.

Heck yes! We love discovering titles through our readers. If you’ve stumbled across a brilliant film or series that you think deserves more attention, drop us a message via our contact form or ping us on social media. Your suggestion might just be our next featured gem — and we’ll absolutely give you a silent nod of appreciation in the write-up.

Nope. Nada. Nunca. We don’t do paid placements, fluff pieces, or shady studio handshakes. Everything you read on our site is honest, independent, and powered by genuine admiration (or thoughtful critique) for the work. We’re film fans first, writers second, sellouts never.

Not even close. While we adore a great film, we also dive into TV series, miniseries, documentaries, and occasionally the weird experimental stuff that makes you question your existence (in a good way). If it tells a compelling story and deserves more love, it’s fair game.

We aim for once a week, give or take — but we’re not into filler content or posting for the sake of it. Our priority is quality over quantity. When a new post drops, it’s because we actually have something worth saying — and because it passed the 'would we tell a friend about this?' test.

Nope! We don’t host, stream, or beam anything directly to your screen. We’re like your trusted film-loving friend who tells you where to watch great stuff — and then points you to the platform where it’s actually available. All streams, rentals, and purchases happen on third-party services.

We include affiliate links to streaming services, which means if you click through and subscribe or rent something, we might earn a small commission. But we’re not owned by or working for these platforms. We don’t control their prices, content, or tech — we just tell you where the gems are hiding.

We wish we could help, but we’re not part of Netflix, Prime, MUBI or any of those services. If a link breaks or your subscription’s acting weird, you’ll need to contact their support team directly. We’re just the ones pointing you to the good stuff — we don’t run the projector.

Yes, we are NordVPN affiliates. That means we earn a small commission if you sign up through our links. But we’re not owned by them, and we don’t provide support. We recommend it because it helps you access streaming content globally — which is kind of perfect if you're into discovering underrated cinema from around the world.

Streaming availability varies by region — annoying, we know. That’s why we include international options and even suggest NordVPN for accessing more platforms globally (yep, that’s an affiliate link, but we trust it).

They help us keep the lights on (and the recommendations flowing). Clicking an affiliate link doesn’t cost you anything extra, but it supports our work. And just to be clear: we never feature a film, series or service just because there’s an affiliate opportunity. Our picks come from genuine love, not sponsorships.

Totally fair question — and yes, you can. Our reviews and picks are 100% editorially independent. We’re here to surface stories that deserve more love, not to shill for clicks. If we rave about something, it’s because we believe it’s worth your time — commission or not.

Just a couple! We use Google Analytics to understand how people use the site (so we can make it better), and we also use a cookie to remember if you've liked a post. No creepy tracking, no third-party ads following you around — just the basics to improve your experience.

We don’t collect any personal data unless you voluntarily give it to us (like if you sign up for the newsletter). And even then, we treat your info with care: no selling, no shady stuff, no unexpected emails.

Yes! You can sign up to get notified when a new review is published — no fluff, no spam, just a friendly nudge when something worth watching lands on the site. You can unsubscribe anytime (but we’ll miss you).

We’re always open to new ideas, guest writers, indie curators, or fellow cinephiles with something to share. Just drop us an email at our contact page and tell us a bit about what you have in mind.

Nope. Never. Not even for all the Criterion Collection box sets in the world. Your data stays yours.

Absolutely — we love a good filter. Use our sidebar or the homepage carousels to browse by genre, year, or country of origin. It’s like having your own personal curator with a taste for the underrated.

It helps us understand what you love (or don't) so we can fine-tune future picks. Your vote is anonymous — just a quick way to whisper 'more of this, please!'

Not yet, but it's on our radar! In the meantime, feel free to like a post — we'll remember it for you (on your device) via a cookie, so you can come back to it anytime.
