Anything can be rated.
This Digital Garden uses a 5-star scale applied as follows:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — Life defining. Part of my identity.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — I am certain to recommend this enthusiastically to people I think would be interested. More than happy to watch it again. Very likely to buy the movie if I’ve seen it in the cinema.
⭐️⭐️⭐️ — Run of the mill good. Enjoyed it
⭐️⭐️ — Meh. Not great. The type of movie or book I finished but can’t be sure really why I bothered.
⭐️ — Never again! I didn’t enjoy it, I don’t like it, and I want that time of my life back.
