Films like Some Like It Rare.

Some Like It Rare (2021) reads as Sombre, breathless, measured comedy / horror, inventive in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, 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.
