Everyone'sa MovieCritic

Become positively confident, critical, and creative. Have thoughtful and constructive talks about movies and shows in a safe human-led and robot-assisted space.

Who needs critics anyway?

We're living through another revolution. The internet transformed access to information, smartphones put it in our pockets, and now AI is democratizing creative skills. Suddenly, almost everyone can be a programmer, artist, creator, translator, speaker, or builder. Everyone is creative—well, almost.

Creativity comes with good taste and a critical mindset. Resonated exists to help you develop your critical eye—making it easy to ask the right questions and build curiosity around what already interests you. Creativity is quite literally the human superpower that enhances everything we do, and I'm passionate about cultivating it in everyone.

I chose movies and shows as our entry point because they're just as universal, spanning cultures and generations. Whether you're a film buff analyzing every camera angle or someone who watches whatever your partner picks, everyone's got something to say. It's the ideal playground where strong opinions can be shared without ruining friendships (most of the time anyway).

Fellow Creative Soul,

a Critic

with its many benefits

Opportunities

Opportunities

Critical thinking boosts your career prospects and earning potential. Research backs this up "...employees earn 14–19% higher salaries on average" while LinkedIn data found that critical thinkers received 37% more interviews.

Creativity

Creativity

Resonated provides you with honest constructive feedback and cultivated audiences who have your back to try new things. It opens your eyes to unusual patterns, adding new colors to your palette. When you understand why something works (or doesn't), you create work that doesn't just please—it resonates and endures.

Relationships

Relationships

Personal and business relationships are improved by a critical mindset. When you can express yourself clearly your partner (or partners) feels heard and respected. Broader perspective extends your understanding of people from all walks of life, bringing new friends and experiences.

Brains

Brains

Historically the most meaningful progress comes from questioning the norm. Super Empowered by critical thinking you'll be able to defend against misinformation (research says 5.4x more likely) or just tell when someone's lying by looking into their eyes.

Collective Impact

When we collectively develop these skills, we create a culture that values substance over surface and meaningful progress over comfortable mediocrity.

A better world

Joined by many others on the same path you'll be a little better and the whole world with you.

What can you do around here?

Resonated comes with an early set of features, to help you talk about movies and shows, in an unfiltered and fun way.

Talking First

Talking First

There's magic in speaking your thoughts aloud. We're capturing those genuine, unfiltered reactions—exactly what you'd tell a friend about why a film or show struck a chord with you. It's criticism in its most natural form.

Distilled Talk Points

Distilled Talk Points

When your conversation ends, it automatically transforms into imperfect but true bite-sized insights. Each point captures a specific reason why the movie or show resonated. Unlike vague ratings that tell you little, talk points provide the 'why' behind opinions.

Here's a few examples of Talk Points
