## What is Late Return?

Late Return is a film finder with the feel of an old independent video store. Tell us one film you loved and we find three more. No endless scrolling, no wall of pointless rows. You get a short list and you pick tonight's film.

HOW IT WORKS
Search for a mood, a genre, or 'what's that film where kids shoot marshmallows out of machine guns?'. Not sure what you are in the mood for? Pick a feeling and get nine films for tonight.

Mark each film Worth It, Serviceable, Not for me, or Saved for Later. The more you rate, the better your picks get.

YOUR SHELF AND STACKS
Keep a shelf of everything you have rated. Build Stacks, your own lists of films, private by default and shareable when you want. See other members with similar taste and what they thought was worth watching.

CONNECT WITH OTHERS
Browse member shelves and find people whose taste matches yours. Follow their stacks to see what they add next, and send a film to a friend when you know it is their kind of movie. You decide how visible you are: share your shelf, keep it private, or stay out of member discovery entirely. Turn on notifications to hear when someone follows one of your Stacks, sends you a film, or adds to a Stack you follow. You choose which ones you get.

TRAILERS
Watch trailers without leaving the app.
