Films like Nothing but the Truth.

Nothing but the Truth (2008) reads as Sombre, steady, measured drama / thriller, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, cold. 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.
