Example searches
Ember is built for the searches other film sites cannot answer. Here is the kind of request that works, and why.
01
When you only remember a scene
Describe what you remember — a setting, an object, a turn in the story — and Ember matches it against what it knows each film is about. You do not need the title or the actors.
02
When you know the feeling, not the film
Ask for the feeling you want to end on. Ember's analysis records tone, intensity and pacing, so sad but hopeful and tense but never cruel are real search terms here.
03
When the occasion decides
Late night, with your parents, a first date, too tired to read subtitles — describe the situation and Ember narrows to films that fit it.
Try one of these
- a slow, beautiful film about grief
- a heist film that isn't violent
- something funny for a tired evening
- sad but hopeful, ends well
- a film where someone rebuilds their life in a small town
- a tense thriller I can watch with my parents
- a road trip movie that isn't a comedy
- science fiction about loneliness
- a feel-good film with no romance
- a courtroom drama with a twist
- something beautiful to fall asleep to
- a first date film that isn't cheesy
