Films like Goodbye South, Goodbye.

Goodbye South, Goodbye (1996) reads as Sombre, slow-burn, measured drama / crime, grounded 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.
