Films like Nothing But a Man.

Nothing But a Man (1964) reads as Sombre, steady, measured drama / indie, 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.
