Films like Missing in America.

Missing in America (2005) reads as Sombre, measured, measured drama / supernatural, 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.
