Does this not take in to account lyrics in musical movies? I looked up Across the Universe and it reported zero name drops despite there being at least a dozen.
When I was 13, my dad gave me every single Beatles CD (that was released while the band was still together). It was a phenomenal gift. I don't have the CDs anymore, nor do I listen to the Beatles particularly often these days, but I will never forget the joy of exploring the band's whole discography in my bedroom. And it was a very thoughtful gift — the movie Across the Universe had just come out and my classmates and I were mildly obsessed with the Beatles, which my dad noticed.
He did "sing" one of the most brilliant parts in 2007 film 'Across the Universe'

Pretty easily.
The idea is to give a feel for what you feel about it and why. 160 characters is easily enough to do that. And you can convey a lot of emotion in the meantime:

If I'm looking to see if I'll like a movie or not, a review like that is perfect.
