Frequently asked questions
Short, direct answers about the site, the data and the way we link to streaming pages.
The basics
About the guide
What is MovieState?
MovieState is an independent movie guide. Each page covers the story, cast, crew, runtime, ratings and release dates, plus where the film streams, rents or sells in major regions.
Is MovieState free to use?
Yes. Every guide on this site is free to read, with no account and no paywall.
Do you host or stream movies?
No. We publish information only and never host video files. We never host, embed or stream video files, and we do not link to unlicensed streaming services. Watch options point to official providers, or to a legitimate availability index such as JustWatch, where you can compare official services and current prices.
How do I find where to watch a movie?
Open a movie page and go to Where to watch. Availability is split into stream, rent and buy for the US, UK, Canada, Australia, India and Bangladesh. Confirm price and quality on the provider page.
Where does the movie data come from?
Posters, backdrops, cast, crew and ratings come from TMDB. Availability comes from TMDB provider data, so it can lag behind a service's own catalogue.
Why can availability differ from what I see?
Streaming rights are sold country by country and change over time. A film available in one region may not be licensed in another.
Watching
Availability and playback
How often is the site updated?
Pages are rebuilt from live data, so ratings, box office and watch options change as the sources change. Each movie page shows the date it was last rebuilt.
Can I request a movie page?
Yes. Send us the title and we will add it to the research queue.
Do you offer free full-movie downloads?
No. Claims like "free full movie download" are usually unsafe or illegal, and we do not publish them. We point to legal ways to watch.
How do you handle errors?
Report the page and the detail that is wrong. We verify it against a primary source and correct the page.
