Films like Alternate Weeks (and Half the Vacation).

Alternate Weeks (and Half the Vacation) (2009) reads as Neutral, steady, gentle drama / family, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, 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.
