Films of 2011
2011 was the least violent year of its era.
Across 415 well-known films, 2011 reads lower on violence than the decade around it — 33.3 against 36, a gap of 2.7. Every year is measured against its own era rather than against all of cinema, because a slow trend is not a year’s signature.
