Films like Marguerite's Theorem.

Marguerite's Theorem (2023) reads as Warm, steady, gentle drama / mystery, 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.
