The Movie Database Support

I upload my short film β€œMe.exe” to TMDB a while ago, and it still hasn’t shown up Letterboxd. I’d like to send it to the crew members so they can like/review. Help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, please contact Letterboxd as we can't import the entry. Maybe some filter is blocking this title.

Letterboxd has been having trouble importing data for a few days now.
In your case, the problem might be the title with a dot and exe.

In any case, their instructions state the path.

Hi @ticao2 @kampfkeks75,

Thank you for your responses β€” I've just reached out to Letterboxd directly to see if they can help resolve the issue.

I did try the import shortcut with the same URL that you listed, but that didn't work. The entry is tagged as a movie too. Is there something else that could be inhibiting the addition?

They have spam filters, and β€œ.exe” is probably a term that triggers the filter.

From our side, I don't think so.
Maybe wait 24 or 30 hours for all caches to expire.
Other than that, I don't know what the problem could be.
I made the API Request and all the data is available.
