Films like Four Nights with Anna.

Four Nights with Anna (2008) reads as Heavy, slow-burn, measured drama / romance, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, 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.
