Films like Bi, Don't Be Afraid.

Bi, Don't Be Afraid (2010) reads as Sombre, slow-burn, measured drama / vietnamese, inventive 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.
