Films like I Wish I Knew.

I Wish I Knew (2010) reads as Sombre, slow-burn, measured documentary / art house, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, 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.
