Yes—your Letterboxd Year in Review appears on its microsite and via your account once you’ve logged films for the year.
Here’s a clean guide to get your wrap-up in a couple of taps, plus fixes if your page looks empty. You’ll find fast links, step-by-step paths on phone and desktop, and a checklist to make sure your diary data actually counts for the correct year.
View Your Letterboxd Year Review — The Fast Method
Most members open the wrap via one of three routes: the microsite, the notification/email, or a banner inside the app during launch week. Pick the quickest path below.
| Method | Where To Tap/Click | What You’ll See |
|---|---|---|
| Microsite | Visit the Year in Review address in a signed-in browser. | Your personal summary link plus the community’s month-by-month highlights. |
| Email/Push | Open the “Year in Review” message or in-app alert. | A direct link to your stats page for that year. |
| In-App Banner | Home → Journal card during release week. | Shortcut to your wrap; badges and share tiles load from there. |
Step-By-Step On Phone
iOS Or Android
1) Open Letterboxd. 2) From Home, tap the banner or the Journal card about the wrap. 3) If you don’t see it, tap your profile → Films → Diary → filter by the target year → look for the prompt to view stats and your wrap. 4) Save or share any tiles you want; they export cleanly for Stories and posts.
If The Banner Isn’t Showing
Type the microsite address in your browser and sign in. Your account will attach to the wrap when you’re logged in. If you have multiple accounts, confirm which one is active in Settings inside the app.
Step-By-Step On Desktop
On a computer, sign in and visit the wrap microsite. The page hosts a global timeline and links to personal stats. If the site sends you back to the home feed, you may be signed out; log back in and refresh. Keyboard users can move through the global timeline with the arrow keys.
What Needs To Be Logged For Your Wrap To Work
Your wrap pulls from diary entries with a watched date in the target year. Ratings alone don’t count unless they’re tied to a dated log. Go to Profile → Films → Diary to spot gaps. If you rated titles without dates, convert them to proper entries by adding a watched date. You can backdate logs if you watched a film earlier in the year.
You can also import a diary file from another service if your logs live elsewhere. The import tool accepts CSV exports from several platforms and can add watched dates, ratings, and tags in one go. Run a small test with a handful of lines before you import a full archive. Read the official guide at Importing your data.
Release Window And Minimum Activity
The wrap goes live soon after New Year. Letterboxd has published timing in early January in past cycles, and has stated that members need a base level of logging to get a personalized page. One recent post required at least ten films logged for the year, with personal summaries rolling out during the second week of January. If you’re under the threshold, you’ll still see the community view, but your personal tiles won’t appear until you reach the minimum for the current cycle. Full details are summarized in the platform’s Year in Review FAQ.
Make Your Stats Pop
Want your wrap to look richer? Add ratings and tags to your diary entries. Tags like “theater,” “rewatch,” the city, or the film festival name give your tiles flavor. If you’re a Pro or Patron member, you also get year-round stats pages for each diary year, which makes it easy to check trends before the wrap arrives.
Troubleshooting When Your Page Looks Empty
If the wrap loads but shows little or no data, walk through this quick list.
| Issue | Likely Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| No personal tiles | Too few dated diary entries for the target year. | Add watched dates to your logs; aim for the published minimum. |
| Wrong year totals | Entries lack a watched date or have the wrong year. | Edit each diary item and set the correct watched date. |
| Can’t find the link | Signed out or using a secondary account. | Sign in, then open the microsite from the same browser. |
| Private profile quirks | Strict privacy can hide some activity from others. | Stats still calculate; sharing tiles won’t expose private logs. |
| App banner missing | Rollout not reached your device yet. | Use the web link; it honors your account session. |
Keep Your Diary Clean All Year
Log With Dates
Open any film page, hit the log button, and add the watched date. That’s the entry your wrap uses. You can attach a review, a star rating, and tags right there. Switch privacy to “You” if you’re logging privately.
Backfill In Batches
Missed a few months? Use the Diary filter by year and add dates in one session. It takes minutes and pays off when the wrap drops. If you need to keep the feed tidy while you catch up, log from the film page and skip the big plus button, which can push items to Recent Activity.
Export For Peace Of Mind
Create a backup now and then. From the desktop site you can export a CSV of watched films, which includes your logged dates. Store it alongside your import files so your history is safe if you ever need to rebuild.
Method And Criteria Behind This Guide
This walkthrough matches the platform’s own help pages and public posts. It prioritizes steps that work on both app and web, explains what data feeds the wrap, and flags the known activity threshold and timing. Where options differ by platform, the shortest path is listed first.
Share And Compare Without Spoilers
Sharing tiles looks best when your poster grid is varied. If you’re worried about revealing plot points in a review quote, tick the spoiler control when you edit the entry. Spoilers stay hidden on your wrap tiles, and your friends will still see the visuals and counts.
FAQ-Style Quick Answers
Do I Need A Paid Plan?
No. The wrap is available to free members. Paid tiers give you deeper, always-on stats and remove third-party ads, but the yearly summary itself is a free perk.
Can I See Previous Years?
Yes. Open your Diary, pick an older year, and follow the stats link for that year. You can also find past community wrap pages in the microsite archive when each year’s page is still online.
What If I Only Rated Films?
Add watched dates to convert those ratings into proper diary entries. Once dated, they count toward your yearly totals.
One-Page Checklist Before You Share
• Have at least the minimum number of dated diary entries for the year. • Sign in on the same browser before opening the microsite. • Edit entries with wrong dates. • Add ratings and tags for flavor. • Save a copy of your import file before you upload. • Use the spoiler control where needed. • Export your tiles at the highest size the page offers.
Why Your Wrap Matters To Film Fans
It’s more than a poster grid. The year page is a diary milestone and a kick-off for next year’s watchlist. It spotlights directors you returned to, genres you binged, and streaks you built during festivals or holidays. If you track where you watched—cinema, streaming, or disc—you’ll also see how your habits shifted month to month. That small bit of care while logging pays off when you get a share-ready, clean summary.
Email And Notification Tips
The wrap arrives by email to the address on your account and by push if you enabled notifications in the mobile app. If the message isn’t in your inbox, check Promotions or spam folders, then search for the words “Year in Review”. Add the sender to contacts so next year lands in your main tab. If you blocked push alerts, you can still open the wrap straight from the microsite once rollout starts.
Data Accuracy Tips
Double-check that each diary entry has the right watched date. Release year and watched date are different fields; the wrap uses the watched date. Rewatches count toward totals when you log them with the current year. If you moved countries or changed time zones, the date picker still stores the calendar date you choose, so set the date you watched rather than today’s default.
Good Habits For Next Year
Pick a tagging scheme now so your tiles look tidy later. Many members tag theaters, formats, and marathons. If you plan a festival binge, create a list ahead of time and tag each diary entry with the festival name. That makes your director and genre tiles feel personal, and it speeds up end-of-year lists when you want to share your top ten.
Pro Perks At A Glance
Free accounts get the yearly wrap. Pro and Patron add always-on stats pages, filter tools for streaming availability, and watchlist alerts when a title hits your services. If you care about deep trends between wraps, that ongoing stats page helps you spot directors, genres, and streaks long before January. It also removes third-party ads on the site and in the app.
Ready to see your year? Open the microsite, check that your diary shows dated entries for the right year, and let the tiles roll in. Enjoy the stats, post your favorites, and tag friends so they can compare their own wrap pages. Have fun comparing with friends across your film habits.
