Conclusion
reddit.com/r/TrueFilm
Many people now consider discussing films at length a career, as each movie is considered an art piece and the perspective towards it differs from person to person. Cinema forces individuals to enhance their critical thinking skills, which allows them to look at creative art from all angles and see different things in each film. When discussing films with peers, your whole intention is to provide an honest, fair reflection of the movie and change someone's perspective of it. A good movie is capable of changing someone's imagination and setting sparks off in their piece of art that they thought was no longer alive.
We'll be reviewing one such community where people are constantly changing and challenging the way you think about films. And that community is r/TrueFilm.
My recent experience on r/TrueFilm
One of my most recent experiences on r/TrueFilm was an engaging post about a movie called "Happiness" that was released in 1998. For me, it was a below-average movie and one that wasn't quite memorable. But a post by u/xoxoxoe Eleanor made me rethink about this film and give it another go. Upon doing so, I couldn't understand why I was finding this movie so fascinating which prior to that viewing was a forgettable title. All of a sudden, "Happiness", started to feel like an intelligent work of art, where people are responsible for the anguish of others. And it's a perfect chain. And I have nothing but deep admiration for the OP for changing my perception.

This subreddit was created on October 16, 2011, and has grown at a steady pace. Sure, it's nowhere near the clout r/MovieDetails has gathered in recent years, but it's still an informative community where people can learn about movies and appreciate Cinema at large.
This subreddit is a great place to engage in movie-related discussion with other enthusiasts. It's filled with personal experience, deep observation, and creative thoughts from different users, so no matter what your opinion is on a particular title, you're sure to find something that speaks to you.

Moderators of r/TrueFilm
I love to see groups like these managed by numerous moderators to ensure smooth functioning. At the time of writing this review, I found 10 moderators on r/TrueFilm - Nixon74?, IFeelOstrichSized?, hydra815?, bulcmlifeurt?, BPsandman84?, AstonMartin_007?, TheGreatZiegfeld?, PantheraMontana?, AutoModerator, and Pulp Fiction 1232.
Why should you follow r/TrueFilm?
One thing you can expect on r/TrueFilm is thoughtful content. Hundreds of posts are updated each day. The post I shared with you, which talked about my ?Happiness? experience had 360 upvotes. On average, the top post of the day manages to surpass 1000 upvotes. As for the content variety, you'll find reviews, hot-takes, queries, featured stories, direction, character appreciation, and more. Even if you're just mildly interested in movies, this thread will help you develop a sense of appreciation for the film community.
Community Engagement
TrueFilm isn't particularly active when it comes to movie-based communities. It has over two million members, but only a few hundred of them are active at any given time. However, because there are so few people conversing on the site, you can still share your views and connect with a few people who will appreciate them. The discussion in the comment section is really interesting to me and helps me see content from different perspectives.
Browsing & Navigation
Since only a few hundred people are active on r/TrueFilm, browsing and navigating the subreddit is seamless. Moreover, there is no video content and thus you can even browse the subreddit with a substandard internet connection. No Tumblr or twitch hosted images/videos mean that you no longer need to visit the third-party website to watch the content. The page loads instantly and, so far, I haven't encountered any problems with this subreddit.
Reddit Gold
It's funny how memes and other forms of content are able to attract a lot of attention. However, insightful posts with sensible content aren't for anyone, especially when it's movie related. This page caters to a specific niche where the users don't weigh post or comment appreciation in gold. Throughout the subreddit, I could only find 1-2 gold being awarded every day. Sure, that's not much but I don't feel r/TrueFilm needs it anyways.
Filter by flair
I find that the only thing that's disappointing on this subreddit is the Filter by Flair option. There are only two options- Fun and Fancy-Free, when there could have been many. The content posted on this subreddit is diverse and I would love it if the moderators tried sorting the content to make it easier for people to find content based upon their taste. They can definitely take a page from r/MovieDetails' notebook and add the following flairs- Review, Personal Preference,Trivia, Unsung Content, and Mass Appeal, among other options.
Important rules you must know before joining r/TrueFilm?
If you're a movie lover, you should definitely join r/TrueFilm. However, it's always a good idea to follow the community rules and guidelines and to read the pointers below if you don't have time to read them on the page.

Design
I found that r/TrueFilm has a generic design with a Saturn logo. It also has a single light blue background as the cover. I'm sure the mods can look into this and improve it to make it more noticeable.
