FULL STORY
======================================================================

Movie fans have been thrown into crisis today as their favorite app and 
website, Letterboxd, is currently down. 

According to Downdetector, the problems started at around 7.20am ET / 12.20pm 
GMT, when many noticed that the app and website weren't working. 

So far, there's no sign of a fix, but Letterboxd has said that it's aware of 
the issue and is "working to restore order as quickly as possible". 

If you're not familiar with Letterboxd, it's essentially a movie database, 
personal journal, and social network all rolled into one. Its 17 million 
worldwide users will be hoping it gets fixed soon  here's everything we know 
about the outage so far... A post-Halloween horror for movie fans (Image

Seeing lots of red on a Downdetector graph is never a good sign, but that's 
unfortunately what we have right now for Letterboxd. 

At the time of writing, there are around 625 reports of issues with both the 
app and website. That's been steadily climbing for the past two hours, since 
7.20am ET / 12.20pm GMT. 

Right now, we're also getting a 'web server is down' message on the website, 
so this is indeed a global outage. For the sake of everyone looking for their 
collections and ranked lists, let's hope that gets fixed soon... Letterboxd 
is 'on it' Our team is aware of a current outage on the site and app. Be back 
soon  pic.twitter.com/FjN5xkxWgo November 6, 2025 

Letterboxd fans were worried for a while when the app hadn't acknowledged the 
issues many are experiencing, but fortunately it's now given us an update. 

In a post on X, it's stated that it's "aware of a current outage on the site 
and app". Promisingly, it says both will be "back soon", but we don't know 
exactly how long that will be. 

Fortunately, there's a potential clue over on Cloudflare , which says it's 
currently experiencing issues affecting "multiple customers". It looks like 
Letterboxd could be one of them, but a fix for that "has been identified and 
a fix is being implemented".

The screen is above is what many are seeing when trying to access Letterboxd, 
with the "web server is down" warning suggesting it may be related to 
problems with the cloud network provider Cloudflare. 

Sure enough, Cloudflare itself has posted a notice about some issues with 
some accidental "rate limiting" been applied to some customers. But there's 
potential good news! The latest notice at 9.26am ET / 2.26 BST says "a fix 
has been implemented and we are monitoring the results". 

If it is indeed Cloudflare-related, that could bode well for the Letterboxd 
outage...
