Throughout her career, Tab has collaborated with many of the world's most celebrated filmmakers, including David Cronenberg, Guillermo del Toro, Danny Boyle, Darren Aronofsky, William Friedkin, Jean-Marc Vallée, Pierre Morel, Fatih Akin, and Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Ramin Bahrani. Her work has been defined by championing distinctive directorial voices across prestige dramas, elevated genre films, and internationally financed independent productions. Tab is currently in post-production on Vegas: A Love Story, directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Ramin Bahrani, starring Maika Monroe, Brandon Sklenar, Michael Shannon, and Judy Greer.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
Is Renee Tab's work okay for kids?

Severity 0–100 from the Content Guide. Categories with under 10 votes on a title are not counted. The band's colour is the severity of their median, named beside it.
