Films like Concerned Citizen.

Concerned Citizen (2022) reads as Sombre, measured, measured drama / satire, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, cold. 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.
