Films like Divine Intervention.

Divine Intervention (2002) reads as Neutral, measured, measured comedy / drama, 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.
