If you were to tell Alfred Hitchcock that two men talking about their emotions (without a bomb ticking under the table) could make compelling cinema, he would have probably left the room laughing. Not many films give emphasis to any exchange of emotions between male characters. But how can you tell which films do so?  

Behold: the Caring Men in Media test. Developed by Equimundo with the Geena Davis Institute and Stephanie Tholand,  It is inspired by the Bechdel-Wallace test, and is built to evaluate whether a piece of media, be it TV, film, radio, books, comics, video games etc, has named male characters who show that they care for each other. One character talks to another about his inner emotional life, and that disclosure is met with compassion.
