Films like Bohemian Rhapsody.

Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) reads as Warm, kinetic, measured drama / biography, grounded in texture. Redemptive, intimate, tender. 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.
