| I know this has proably been discussed before, but i don't understand the reasoning around review acceptance... why is it that some reviews get approved very quickly and others seem to take forever??? I have several that I submitted months ago that are still pending, while others I submitted in the last few weeks got approved in short order. |

| Yep, discussed many times. In the unlikely event that you cannot find the other threads, the short answer is that it depends on the film. |

Can you explain this further. I have not been able to find the answer to this in other thread. Thanks. |

| I don't want to profess more knowledge than I have, but less well known films presumably get looked at less often, because they have fewer reviews pending and because fewer MERPs are familiar with them - films unfamiliar to MERPs take time to research, so they have to wait until such time is available, even if it is only a small amount per film. More obscure/borderline reviews also take longer - for the same reason of MERPs needing to investigate the facts/being uncertain of the review even once they know the facts. I do not know, but assume that MERPs are allowed to pass on reviews, rather than be forced to choose yes or no. |

Thanks, that makes sense, and is what I was thinking would be the reality of the situation the MERPs find themselves in with the amount of reviews they have to process. |
