As Anthony E. Greene already mentioned yesterday (06/12/19 @ 08:07am EDT) in a comment on this thread, you are data typing imdbRating as INTEGER, when it should be NUMERIC.

Try again with this DDL:

> CREATE TABLE movies (
> "title" SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
> "year" INTEGER NOT NULL,
> "runtime" INTEGER NOT NULL,
> "imdbID" VARCHAR NOT NULL,
> "imdbRating” NUMERIC NOT NULL
> );

I also ensured that i defined DATABASE_URL properly. Sorry for the long traceback error at the end :P Please note that my csv values are stored in lists in each cell. They are arranged in a single column such as
