Films like Hide and Seek.

Hide and Seek (1980) reads as Sombre, measured, measured drama / coming-of-age, grounded 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.
