Films like Stations of the Cross.

Stations of the Cross (2014) reads as Heavy, measured, extreme drama / religion, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, 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.
