I never realized how much thought goes into visual storytelling. The quiz made me think differently about how I view media. Does anyone have recommendations for movies with exceptional visual storytelling?

@Sarah Miller I highly recommend "The Grand Budapest Hotel" for its meticulous visual storytelling. Every frame is carefully composed to support the narrative.
