Scores

  1. 0 and above.

    Bigger is better for you. You know nothing of solitude. You like your filmic globe-trotting. Who can blame you?

  2. 5 and above.

    You’re a low-key dabbler. You've seen a few stripped-down films in your time, but you're not afraid to head out into the world either.

  3. 8 and above.

    You're a minimalist aficionado. You think films with more than one location are frankly just showing off. Retire to a single, sparse room where you can relax and watch Rear Window on a loop forever. Well done.
