## Customer feedback

Aggregate ratings lean positive, with many five-star ratings, but a smaller one-star share shows that responses are not uniformly favorable. Without written feedback, the ratings do not explain what viewers liked or disliked. They are a limited signal for a three-film DVD collection, not evidence about subtitle quality or playback performance.
