      Did you try just now?

      While it could be regional, I am getting it in the middle of the US and we tend to get this kind of stuff last. Reviews require a login for me right now on Project Hail Mary and the one old movie I checked from the 90s.

        I tried in many regions and countries and all of them required login to see reviews. I use a browser that keeps no cookies and deletes all browsing data on exit.

        Yep, just tried it again for that movie and I had no problem. I will say this is in the IOS app and in the past when I updated the app it tried to get me to login but it’s always had a skip link.

          So it isn’t true for you, but it is true for OP and me and other people even if it isn’t 100% universal.

      Its definitrly true in some places. Last night I went to read a review and it prompted a sign in.

      Mayne its different on the web or something.

        Yeah I’m sure it’s prob location or some other demo they are picking up to enforce that shit.

          Between multiple browsers on desktop and mobile, all in private mode or browsers that do not save any cookies or data, VPNed into any country I tried, you now need to be logged in to see reviews. Either you’re logged in, or lived in a place that isn’t Canada, the US, Japan, Denmark, Australia, Norway, or whatever other places I tried.
