Films like A Complete Unknown.

A Complete Unknown (2024) reads as Neutral, steady, measured drama / biography, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, measured. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
